Almost prime
![Task](http://static.miraheze.org/rosettacodewiki/thumb/b/ba/Rcode-button-task-crushed.png/64px-Rcode-button-task-crushed.png)
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.
A k-Almost-prime is a natural number that is the product of (possibly identical) primes. So, for example, 1-almost-primes, where , are the prime numbers themselves; 2-almost-primes are the semiprimes.
The task is to write a function/method/subroutine/... that generates k-almost primes and use it to create a table here of the first ten members of k-Almost primes for .
