To address Eli's valid criticism and focus on something practical and existing, let's enhance the existing emacs calc package for mathematical computations. Focusing on improving the calc package, which is already a powerful tool for mathematical calculations in Emacs. Specifically, make a library that extends its capabilities, and which calc can use.
