To my surprise, I'm using it quite a lot today, when using GP as a
simple calculator to quickly tune isprimepower(). It's actually
quite convenient :-)

forfactored() is also interesting [ since one can quickly emulate
forsquarefree(), fordisc(), etc. from this one ].

Do you already have code for it ?

Thanks for suggesting this,
