I would be happy to have some predefined variables, but I can't do without
nested functions. Could this already speed up the thing?

I must admit that this is my first contact to parsers and I don't understand
much of it. I was quite fascinated how easy it is to implement a function
calculator. I combined it with a least-squares fit procedure and I noticed
that the parser was much to slow to work with.
