bingo!

I don't recall seeing that anywhere. Do you have a reference? Or is it
so simple it's obvious? :)

It simply falls out in the algebra. Take a signal:

     s(t) = sin (2 pi f t)

and substitute it for x in a polynomial like:

     p(x) = a + b x + c x^2 + ... n x^n

Once you expand out the trig identities you will find the
maximum output component by inspection.

I see a distinction between the "maximum output component" of
a polynomial function being n-th order, and the polynomial function
having "up to n-th order harmonics".

Oh yeah. Cool - thanks Erik.

Not "up to n-th order harmonics", "up to and including n-th order
harmonics".
