Notes
=====
Some famous conjectures about the occurence of primes in a given
range are [1]:
- Twin primes: though often not, the following will give 2 primes
an infinite number of times:
primerange(6*n - 1, 6*n + 2)
- Legendre's: the following always yields at least one prime
primerange(n**2, (n+1)**2+1)
- Bertrand's (proven): there is always a prime in the range
primerange(n, 2*n)
- Brocard's: there are at least four primes in the range
primerange(prime(n)**2, prime(n+1)**2)
The average gap between primes is log(n) [2]; the gap between
primes can be arbitrarily large since sequences of composite
numbers are arbitrarily large, e.g. the numbers in the sequence
n! + 2, n! + 3 ... n! + n are all composite.

One can argue that the primes are infinite since if you take
a set of primes and multiply them together (e.g. the primorial) and
then add or subtract 1, the result cannot be divided by any of the
original factors, hence either 1 or more new primes must divide this
product of primes.
In this case, the number itself is a new prime:
>>> factorint(primorial(4) + 1)
{211: 1}
In this case two new primes are the factors:
>>> factorint(primorial(4) - 1)
{11: 1, 19: 1}
Here, some primes smaller and larger than the primes multiplied together
are obtained:
>>> p = list(primerange(10, 20))
