I agree with this point, but I suspect that writing such a library from
scratch might be a bit difficult.
May I suggest an alternative: abstract out GNU Calc math routines to be
available from Elisp without having to read Calc sources.
Such a task would require:
1. Documenting some Calc data structures
2. Possibly refactoring some Calc functions to use simpler API.
It would be a much easier task and can improve the existing
functionality.
