And all? other Computer Algebra System uses ! for factorial.

I feel that ! is the standard function for factorial.

I remember a first play with axiom for an other teacher.
He wants to see a big number, so he tests 123!. This day he doesn't find axiom as usual as other CAS.

Hmm, does anybody see a reason that ! could not be a special keyword of SPAD/Aldor that behaves as postfix operator similar to the douple dot operator ".." in Aldor?
