Sequence generating idea

Here is an interesting way to (try to) generate integer sequences:
Let S be a set of integers. Let S+n = {S+n : n in S}
Now peform the following algorithm
n = 0;
T = empty set;
a = empty sequence;
for (n = 0 to inf by 1) {
if ( T intersect S+n = empty set ) {
T = T union S+n;
Append n to a;
}
}
What is a if S = primes? squares? cubes? powers of 2? any other ideas?
