Yuck.  -1 to compatibility with this.  All or nothing -- if you're
going to support double factorial, you should support any
multifactorial.  Reasonably, we can't expect to support arbitrary math
input.  We don't support |A| where len(A) does the job, and we don't
accept half-open interval notation, either.  I've made up my mind, I
don't support the factorial notation.

-1.
