Should we also add -4! to cover both function as well as the operator?
I will add that. I wasn't actually sure about the precedence of these
operators, so it is interesting as a regression test for that as well.

This looks more of ERRCODE_FEATURE_NOT_SUPPORTED esp. since factorial
of negative numbers is defined but we are not supporting it. I looked
at some other usages of this error code. All of them are really are
out of range value errors.
The proposed error message says this is undefined. If we use an error
code that says it's not implemented, then the message should also
reflect that. But that would in turn open an invitation for someone to
implement it, and I'm not sure we want that. It could go either way,
but we should be clear on what we want.
