%N Number of free pure symmetric multifunctions in one symbol with n positions.
%C A free pure symmetric multifunction (PSM) in one symbol x is either (case 1) the symbol x, or (case 2) an expression of the form h[g_1,...,g_k] where h is a PSM in x, each of the g_i for i=1..(k>0) is a PSM in x, and for i < j we have g_i <= g_j under a canonical total ordering such as the Mathematica ordering. The number of positions in a PSM is the number of brackets [...] plus the number of x's.
