(shifted factorial).

pochhammer(1/2,z); 

    factorial(2*z)

    2*z
  (2   *factorial(z))

</TT></PRE><P>A number of complex rules for <em>Pochhammer</em> are inactive, be
cause they 
cause a huge system load in algebraic mode. If one wants to use more rules 
for the simplification of Pochhammer's notation, one can do:

let special!*pochhammer!*rules;
