Partial integer factorization?


Hello,

Is there way in PARI/GP to factor an integer partially, and possibly keeping hard-to-factor composites? I had a look a factorint(n, 9) which works, but does only really trivial factorizations. This does not factor 165293388715327472724574326428939 for instance, which takes less than 100ms with MPQS.

I would like to say ``try ECM to some extent, possibly MPQS if the number is not too big''. I realize this could be a difficult question.
