I support this idea too, and for the operators, let me suggest using C-style ones, given the big amount of C-compatible languages, not only C/C++ but also Java, ecma-script and derivatives, etc. I am not saying to support them all: - there's no sense for =, +=, -=, etc, unless you implement some i

Yes, exactly. We need only few functions: * check whether is driver present * compute matematical expression (*) set precision for floating point numbers (*) some extra function for operations like arithmetical mean - Take S
