You might be better off building the primes as a List, then converting to a
string at the end. Although the conversion of each number is only done once so
it probably doesn't make too much difference (apart from being a bit more LCBy).
In general LCB should be written to prefer structure over
I think you are right - I will double check.
There is actually an internal function (in C) - two in fact - IsSequence and
IsNumericSequence which we should plumb into 'is a' to make this clearer.
They basically use the extents internal impl (well an optimized form in one
