%N The greater of bigomega(n) and maximal prime index in the prime factorization of n.
%C Also: minimal m such that n is the product of at most m primes not exceeding prime(m). (Here the primes do not need to be distinct; cf. A263323.)
%C By convention, a(1)=0, as 1 is the empty product.
%C Those n with a(n) <= k fill a k-simplex whose 1-sides span from 0 to k.
%C For a similar construction with distinct primes (hypercube), see A263323.
%C Each nonnegative integer occurs finitely often; in particular:
%C - Terms a(n) <= k occur A000984(k) = (2*k)!/(k!)^2 times.
%C - The term a(n) = 0 occurs exactly once.
%C - The term a(n) = k > 0 occurs exactly A051924(k) = (3*k-2)*C(k-1) times, where C(k)=A000108(k) are Catalan numbers.

%F a(n) = max(A001222(n), A061395(n)).
%F a(n) <= pi(n), with equality when n is 1 or prime.
%e a(6)=2 because 6 is the product of 2 primes (2*3), each not exceeding prime(2)=3.
%e a(8)=3 because 8 is the product of 3 primes (2*2*2), each not exceeding prime(3)=5.
%e a(11)=5 because 11 is prime(5).
