Thanks for the extra explanations, Bill.
I wrote an extra item in pari's online FAQ, and an additional note in
the manual, while Karim has put into the pari cvs already. But (at
least as far as mwrank is concerned) we still need a proof=true
version of factorint().

factor is a general factoring function for integers, polynomials and
various other types. It also takes an optional parameter to tell it
how many primes to use in the factorisation. So for example if you
want to know all prime factors of an integer up to 1000 you'd use
factor(n, 1000).
