Comment(by kcrisman):
A careful look at Sloane's functions reveals that the base case is indeed
=1, according to his definitions. I'm not sure if this is standard, but
Mathworld doesn't seem to talk about those cases carefully. On the other
hand, Wikipedia [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factorial#Multifactorials]
suggests that this is somewhat standard.
