;;; Commentary:
;; Encoding number series as I learn about them.
;;
;; These are the following series I'm interested in supporting:
;; - Fibonacci
;; - Catalan numbers
;; - Figurate number series
;;   - Triangular
;;   - Square
;;   - Pentagonal
;;   - Hexagonal
;;   - Lazy-caterer
;; - Magic square
;; - Look-and-say
