Comment (by kcrisman):
> I didn't say that. I just said that I don't want an algorithm keyword
only for factorial(). I don't want a "solution" which needs to treat
factorial() in a special way.
Hmm. After thinking about this, I would like to suggest that `factorial`
is a pretty special example. It's not a typical function of this type
(even if we do make it like `gamma` in the end. It certainly shouldn't be
in `.n()` since we want integer output from the algorithms (right?).
