I certainly agree with keeping 0 in the sequence.  I omitted it inadvertently.

The description of the sequence, if it is kept, should be rewritten
entirely.  Perhaps
Numbers n such that 10^n is divisible by n+1.
or
Numbers n such that 10^n is divisible by the number of digits in 10^n.
depending on whether we decide that it needs the base keyword.  I
think it needs the keyword, so I'd go for the second wording.

My Pari code is significantly more efficient than Rick's.  I feel like
there should be a better way to generate terms than testing sequential
numbers, though.  Any ideas?
