Yes, I guess so. My initial thoughts were that we have plenty of
algebraic languages available already through babel (octave, R, python,
...) so why not support a stack based one more directly. However, the
real benefit of calc is that it is *emacs* and not external! Algebraic
is more natural to most people so making it easy for them to express
themselves makes sense.
