Huh? All the code to make the feature work has hardcoded stuff to
generate the formulas, anyway...

Maybe... But then you do not really need a menu entry for that. You
are going to confuse 'normal' users. Writing documentation would be
much better than yet another menu entry. I tend to think your math
menus are getting out of hand.
