Thanks Vladimir!  But please help me understand: I did not change
anything in the part of the code invoking the GiNaC parser, and
I did not change the tests.  So the situation you are describing,
i.e., GiNaC parser not understanding postfix factorial notation,
is something that changed from, say, 10 years ago.
In other words, do you agree that, say, 10 years ago,
the GiNaC parser was accepting that notation?

Sorry if I am off-track.
Thanks a lot,

    Roberto
