No, I think they're related to running asm programs, or something. ! is 0
bytes long. # is 8 bytes long, looks like this:

   adc a,(hl)
   dec h
   djnz $+35	;current offset + 35h
   .db "jmv",$11

renaming this hangs the calc on quitting jmv. So they're not math
functions, a factorial function wouldn't get called on quitting a program.
The VAT just starts at the end of RAM page 7 and works downward in memory.
