I happened to turn on the T.V. tonight when the only channel available to us 
was airing a program on the Da Vinci Code. I haven't read the book.

At the end of the program a historian refers to data which were "fictional" 
and others that were "factional." My English dictionary doesn't have that 
meaning sense for "factional" but I wouldn't be surprised if English 
dictionaries will in a few years. Nice neologism based on lexical symmetry 
with "fictional."
