Both completeness and relevance are already being addressed, using the
predicates
"nice", "core", "obsc". A generalised OEIS-style for tables, OGF and EGF,
and
recurrence relations further enhance this. These strong points could even be
further enhanced by making these accessible for "combined search", cfr
Google,
like "+(%.G.F) -base"
