type conversion fails

In manual page
http://postgresql.readysetnet.com/users-lounge/docs/7.1/postgres/typeconv-oper.html
it says that:

<QUOTE>
5.2.1.3. Factorial

This example illustrates an interesting result. Traditionally, the factorial operator is defined for integers only. The Postgres operator catalog has only one entry for factorial, taking an integer operand. If given a non-integer numeric argument, Postgres will try to convert that argument to an integer for evaluation of the factorial.

tgl=> select (4.3 !);
?column?
----------
24
(1 row)
</QUOTE>

and on my 7.1.1 I get:

test=# select (4.3 !);
ERROR: Unable to identify a right operator '!' for type 'float8'
You may need to add parentheses or an explicit cast

doc|source bug?
