Examples

			L.g.f.: L(x) = x + 3*x^2/2 + 10*x^3/3 + 95*x^4/4 + 3126*x^5/5 + ...
which equals the series:
L(x) = (1 + x + x^2 + x^3 + x^4 + x^5 + x^6 + ...)*x
+ (1 + 2^2*x + 3^3*x^2 + 4^4*x^3 + 5^5*x^4 + 6^6*x^5 + ...)*x^2/2
+ (1 + 3^3*x + 6^4*x^2 + 10^5*x^3 + 15^6*x^4 + 21^7*x^5 + ...)*x^3/3
+ (1 + 4^4*x + 10^5*x^2 + 20^6*x^3 + 35^7*x^4 + 56^8*x^5 + ...)*x^4/4
+ (1 + 5^5*x + 15^6*x^2 + 35^7*x^3 + 70^8*x^4 + 126^9*x^5 + ...)*x^5/5
+ (1 + 6^6*x + 21^7*x^2 + 56^8*x^3 + 126^9*x^4 + 252^10*x^5 + ...)*x^6/6
+ (1 + 7^7*x + 28^8*x^2 + 84^9*x^3 + 210^10*x^4 + 462^11*x^5 + ...)*x^7/7 + ...
Exponentiation yields the g.f. of A181078:
exp(L(x)) = 1 + x + 2*x^2 + 5*x^3 + 29*x^4 + 657*x^5 + 61207*x^6 + … + A181078(n)*x^n + ...
