Triangle, read by rows, where the g.f. of row n, R_n(x), is a polynomial of degree n that satisfies: [x^k] R_{n+1}(x) = [x^k] (1 + x*R_n(x))^(n+1) for k=0..n+1, with R_0(x) = 1.

EXAMPLE
The g.f. of row 4 is: 1 + 4*x + 18*x^2 + 76*x^3 + 287*x^4
and equals the initial coefficients from [x^0] to [x^4] in:
(1+ x*R_3(x))^4 = (1 + x*(1 + 3*x + 9*x^2 + 22*x^3))^4.
