a[n] is a[n] terms from term = a[n]+1

[Franklin T. Adams-Watters]

I notice that this (the b[n] below) has been added as a finite sequence, A078943.  However, this is just sequence A063733 (Recaman's sequence plus one) up to the first duplication.  Should A078943 be a separate entry in the encyclopedia?  If it is, it should certainly contain a reference to A063733.
