Better we simply adopt a convention to encode partitions via their indices
in some canonical enumeration, say A&S's.
There could even be a "part" keyword for such sequences.
Note that the recent thread on A114717 contained a reference to A025487,
the minimal sequence whose signatures give the A&S ordering. Thus
factoring alone would allow a user to recover the partitions without having
to refer to a source outside the OEIS.
I believe other benefits would accrue.
