* @details
* Store an array of booleans where a true value indicates that it's index is
* prime. For all the values in the array starting from 2 which we know is
* prime, we walk the array in multiples of the current outer value setting them
* to not prime. If we remove all multiples of a value as we see it, we'll be
* left with just primes.
*
* Pass "print" as a command line arg to see the generated list of primes
