Heh. I remember trying calc when it was still relatively new. Never
got to be very productive with it. I suppose that's sort of a
contraindication (it might just be the user of course).
The two ideas that Simon and Gabor brought up bouth sound like they
might fly. Especially the existence of something with a Python
interface sounds attractive, since that might not be too hard to clone
or paraphrase in R.
