Currently *OverflowError* doesn't have a message field, so to do this, you
have to either let showerror

Is there a way to provide a suggestion with the error?
It currently says this,
*julia **factorial(21)*
*ERROR: OverflowError()*
* in factorial_lookup at combinatorics.jl:27*
* in factorial at combinatorics.jl:35*
Maybe it would be more useful if it said
*julia **factorial(21)*
*ERROR:
I am guessing, that like Matlab, octave uses doubles to represent integers,
and hence you can go a bit farther than with integers. That should be the
same as factorial(21.0) in julia. Of course, you can also use BigInt and
such, which has already been discussed here.
