> can you add an approximation of the result in the command?

I don't really understand what you're asking here.

If you're asking for the behaviour of multiplication to change so that it 
becomes more do-what-I-mean-ish, that's not going to happen.  You could try 
writing your own DWIM-style multiplication if that's what you want, but the 
basic multiplication operator should stay as it is now: a simple wrapper around 
the C multiplication, which on most machines has a simple, easily-stated and 
well-defined behaviour: return me the floating-point number that's closest to 
the exact mathematical result of the multiplication.
