[seqfan] Re: multiplicative set-like sequences

I don't think it wise to add a keyword for every conceivable property a 
sequence might have.

How about "property pages" (P-pages, numbered just like sequences)? The 
property page for multiplicative sequences might (initially) look like:

------------------------------------------
Multiplicative Sequences

A multiplicative sequence is a sequence defined on the positive integers 
which obeys the relation

    a(mn) = a(m)a(n),  if gcd(m, n) = 1.

Properties:

    a(1) = 1.

    a(PROD(p_i^e_i)) = PROD(a(p_i^e_i)).

    A multiplicative sequence is determined by its values p^e where p is 
prime and e >= 1. If n has the prime factorization
    n = PROD(p^e), then a(n) = PROD(a(p^e)).

Sequence description:

    If a sequence is multiplicative, create a comment link to this page:

        %C A123456 <a href="property/multiplicative.htm">Multiplicative</a>

    If you also know its values at prime powers, create a formula line:

        %F A123456 <a href="property/multiplicative.htm">Multiplicative</a> 
with a(p^e) = e+1.
