Jason Moxham has contributed a new mpz_fac_ui (below) based on
stripping factors of two, and splitting the remaining products.

That's rather big, perhaps it can be brought down.

I'd wondered if a full prime factorization would be necessary, perhaps
just stripping factors of for instance 2, 3, 5, 7 and 11 would result
in most of the possible squaring.

For reference, mpz_fac_ui is not a very important function, but good
algorithms well implemented are always welcome.




Factorial
---------

Factorials are calculated by a combination of removal of twos,
powering, and binary splitting.  The procedure can be best illustrated
with an example,

     23! = 1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8.9.10.11.12.13.14.15.16.17.18.19.20.21.22.23

has factors of two removed,

     23! = 2^19.1.1.3.1.5.3.7.1.9.5.11.3.13.7.15.1.17.9.19.5.21.11.23

and the resulting terms collected up according to their multiplicity,

     23! = 2^19.(3.5)^3.(7.9.11)^2.(13.15.17.19.21.23)

   Each sequence such as 13.15.17.19.21.23 is evaluated by splitting
into every second term, as for instance (13.17.21).(15.19.23), and the
same recursively on each half.  This is implemented iteratively using
some bit twiddling.

   Such splitting is more efficient than repeated Nx1 multiplies since
it forms big multiplies, allowing Karatsuba and higher algorithms to be
used.  And even below the Karatsuba threshold a big block of work can
be more efficient for the basecase algorithm.

   Splitting into subsequences of every second term keeps the resulting
products more nearly equal in size than would the simpler approach of
say taking the first half and second half of the sequence.  Nearly
equal products are more efficient for the current multiply
implementation.
