Which means that I misread the sources. I was referring to | 2$ | 3$| #ERROR | #+tblfm: $3=$2+$1 Error in the above is because Calc handles "$" specially. > We can, but it should be first and foremost added to GNU Calc.

New (small) things are being added to Calc as a part of Emacs development. >From NEWS.29: ** Calc +++ *** New user option 'calc-kill-line-numbering'. Set it to nil to exclude line numbering from kills and copies. >From NEWS.28: ** Calc *** The behavior when doing forward-delete has been changed. Previously, using the 'C-d' command would delete the final number in the input field, no matter where point was. This has been changed to work more traditionally, with 'C-d' deleting the next character. Likewise, point isn't moved to the end of the string before inserting digits. *** Setting the word size to zero disables word clipping. The word size normally clips the results of certain bit-oriented operations such as shifts and bitwise XOR. A word size of zero, set by 'b w', makes the operation have effect on the whole argument values and the result is not truncated in any way. *** The '/' operator now has higher precedence in (La)TeX input mode. It no longer has lower precedence than '+' and '-'. *** New user option 'calc-make-windows-dedicated'. When this user option is non-nil, Calc will mark its windows as dedicated. -- Ihor Radchenko // yantar92, Org mode contributor, Learn more about Org mode at <https://orgmode.org/>.
