[calc] calc-command-flags not even defvarr'ed..

[Deepak Goel]

in my calc-version
"2.02f"

(math-pow 2 1000)

will refuse to work (even if i ensure all calc files are loaded),
unless i (defvar calc-command-flags nil).
This variable should somewhere be defvarr'ed in the package..


Calc is an *awesome* package..  it makes emacs read arbitrarily large
numbers.. 
for instance,

(math-mul 1234 1234)
==>     (bigpos 756 522 1)
meaning: 1,522,756.


Calc is very likely to be used by kinda-advanced lisp programmers
(rather than emacs-novices..), so they are even more likely to use
calc in their own lisp programs than in the user-interface provided..
it seems that more attention has gone into ensuring that the
user-interface works rather than ensuring that the standalone lisp
functions work.. :(


With a million thanks to the author of calc fro writing it, and to the
maintainers as well..
