For http://www.research.att.com/~njas/sequences/A005045, "Number of 3
X 3 matrices with row and column sums n.",

  - it is very plausible that a 'counting matrices with restriction on
row/column' has an ogf
  - the ogf given by Plouffe certainly matches exactly the sequence numbers
  - but for the life of me I cannot get those numbers by hand from the
description, nor can I find the article online.

e.g let n = 1, then I see all row and column sums equal to 1, which is
obviously a permutation matrix and so there must be 6 matrices then,
which is different from the 0 that the OEIS seq gives. So I must be
misunderstanding something.
