 ## The output data class (double, single, uint32, etc.@:) is the same as the
 ## input class of @var{n}.  The algorithm used is the Sieve of Eratosthenes.

-## Note: If you need a specific number of primes you can use the fact that the
-## distance from one prime to the next is, on average, proportional to the
-## logarithm of the prime.  Integrating, one finds that there are about
