This will be extremelly useful, and the factorial rules are
not that
problematic. Only thing is that if you are going to deal
with big numbers, then
you might want to look at bcmath and/or gmp, which is what I
use for
Math_Integer and Math_Fibonacci.

Will look at your code over the weekend.

Cheers.
