-- The `factor` function has been overhauled for speed.  Especially, for
-large input quantities (> 1e14) with small prime factors, e.g.
-`intmax ("uint64")`, the function can be up to 10,000 times faster.
-However, for large input quantities with large prime factors, the function

 - The `mldivide` function (i.e., the `\` operator) now uses an LU
 decomposition to solve nearly singular full square matrices.  This is
