Please tell me, that you are joking.

This is not about finding an "workaround", I know about at least halve
a dozen ways of getting calc from within gnus my self.

This is about a inconsistency in emacs which should be fixed.  calc is
part of GNU emacs and it uses and documents M-# as a global binding,
while gnus -- part of gnu emacs, too -- binds it locally.  Of cause I
can use a custom binding for calc as Jay suggested (and in fact, it's
what I'm doing for now), but I think the TRTTD would be to change
either binding.  Global default bindings in emacs should be global.
