Content
It seems like most of the methods on integers are for two-argument operations (add, mul, div, etc.), while a lot of single-argument operations are in the math module. If this gets added would it fit better as a function in the math module? I have to say a factorial function is something I've found myself writing several times, so I certainly wouldn't mind having one included. Yeah, it's a one-liner, but so is hypot, and that's already in the stdlib. And most calculators don't have a hypot button. ;)
