I must say, I'm uncomfortable with having two completely different
calculators that are called `calculator' and `calc' -- it's confusing.
I guess there's not that can be done now, since people are used to
those names, but ... it would be much nicer if there was only one
calculator program that let you choose RPN or infix entry via a
preference.
[A similar confusing situation is that there are two terminal emulators,
`term' and `terminal-emulator', with no obvious clue why there are two,
or which is better. ... and `vi-mode', `vip-mode', and `viper-mode'...
Maybe we need to look into obsoleting some of these packages...]
