I think we all agree that a general purpose mathematical library would
be interesting.  The point is that the specifics of how it is
implemented matters.  If you think basing it on Calc is the best way
forward, then I invite you to get started.  I mean this sincerely.

Unfortunately, this discussion currently seems to be going in circles.
Since nothing helps ground a discussion more than working code, I
propose that we revisit this topic when we have something more concrete
to consider.
