If you are using such building blocks, maybe it would make sense to
export a function for the "semi-factorial"? In my calculus course it was
denoted n!! = n (n-2) (n-4) ... (the product stopping at 1 for odd n and
2 for even n).

I don't remember off the top of my head in which context it was used,
but it must have appeared in some expansion of some not very exotic
function.
