Array generalizing A031165

5 - 2 = 3.

So a(2,1) = 3, not 4.

And the n = 1 column is A040976.

In fact, the entire second row is off by one column; the 3 needs to be
inserted at the beginning of the row.

Since I see that A031165 has just been (re)edited, and comments
already read: "This sequence is the k=3 case of the family of
sequences a(k,n) = prime(n+k) - prime(n). See A001223 and A031131 for
k = 1 and 2."  it seems to me worth looking at the array a(k,n) =
prime(n+k) - prime(n) by value (rather than just by reference). Is
there anbything worth saying about it, or worth entering it as a seq
by antidiagonals?
