COMMENTS
A permutation of the positive integers.
EXAMPLE
a(1) = 1 is the least positive integer, and a(1) has no other constraint to satisfy.
a(2) = 9 is the least positive integer > a(1) = 1 such that a(2)*a(1) = 9 has a digit 9.
a(3) = 10 is the least positive integer not in {1, 9} such that a(3)*a(2) (= 90) has a digit 9: The smaller choices 2, ..., 8 does not satisfy this.
a(4) = 19 is the least positive integer not in {1, 9, 10} such that a(4)*a(3) (= 190) has a digit 5: All available smaller choices do not satisfy this.
