Possibly interesting sequence

[David Wilson]

So maybe it's best to include the (finite) sequence of "bad" integers, 
if not already in the OEIS.

Also, if a sequence is created or annotated, for heaven sakes, don't 
call them "Wilson's good numbers". I use the characterization "good 
numbers" as shorthand for "numbers that interest me with respect to the 
current problem". And in this case, I lifted the problem from another 
source, and I have nothing of merit to add to the problem except an 
interest in the solution and too much laziness to find it for myself.
