Well, the subject is basically what I want. I'd like to be able to
type, e.g., "2+3", mark it as a region, and press *something* only to
get it *replaced* by "5".
C-u C-x * g C-x * y q is pretty close, but not the same (and way too
long to be comfortable).
If there's no such thing, I could probably write it in Elisp myself,
but why reinvent the wheel?
Best,

Exactly for this purpose I use macro-math:

Thanks a lot, seems to be exactly what I meant (though rounding would
be less useful for me)! Meanwhile, I recalled about the embedded mode,
which does a very similar thing.
