Sorry I forgot to add:

Can either of the codes calculate:

	factorial(40)

?

i.e. are the codes at all relevant given that 32-bit and 64-bit integers
are useless for this calculation?

Python happily and correctly calculates factorial(2000).

Also if a functional approach is being advertised why use an imperative
algorithm for factorial, with it's explicit iteration, why not use
reduce so as to hide the itertation. In D:

	reduce!"a * b"(1L, iota(1, n+1)(

It appears the 1L is needed here when using ulongs or type inference
fails :-(
