Yeah, using `calculator' for batch mode (for any definition of
"batch") would be useless.

That's my fault... I liked the idea behind `calc', but every time I
started it I could feel the horrible wastage of such a huge piece of
work when I just wanted to calculate some grade average or something
like that. So I wrote a new package, and since `calc' was taken, I
used the next most fitting word...
