+`primefac-nim` is a translation of Lucas A. Brown's [primefac project](https://github.com/lucasaugustus/primefac)
+into Nim. Why? 1. I like his work and wanted it in Nim, 2. I'm trying to learn number theory.
+
+Some functions are not verbatim translation, and will be marked as such.
+This allows me to implement my own optimisations, such as using 
+the Sieve of Atkins for prime generation rather than the Sieve of Eratosthenes.
