As the person who nagged Enrico to make \jobname easily accessible in
preview files, I am 7 years older now, have more experience with
expl3 (the programming language of LaTeX3) and have superseded the
calculyx package which was available on the LyX wiki with the
numerica package on CTAN. This is a standalone LaTeX package not
specifically tailored for use with LyX as calculyx was. I have no
objection if you decide to change the behaviour of \jobname in previews.
Thanks, Andrew, for this information. Indeed, if there is no other
valid use for \jobname in previews, reverting the patch would be the
simplest solution.
What is your experience with expl3? The few bits of the terribly wordy
syntax frightened me a bit :)

Yes, expl3 is verbose but I've got used to it. It makes programming in
LaTeX more like using a procedural language. I never mastered TeX (all
those \expandafter-s) and reached my limit at about 20 lines, whereas
numerica.sty is over 3000.
