Now that I see these test cases I also see a reason why this is not a
good idea. Currently, 'factor' outputs the unique factorization of
the input number into primes. But there is no unique factorization
for negative numbers. For example, OUT could have been '-12197
352133' or '12197 -352133'.
I am becoming inclined to leave sleeping dogs lie here. Except
perhaps 'factor' should also report an error if asked to factor zero.
