 Apparently a PEP was rejected, but it mentions "several" implementations.
 Also, for Calculate, the implementation does not have to be high-
 performance, it just needs to be correct.

 Also see http://world.casio.com/edu/product/ntd/ (I got one of these for
 less than 20 euros for my son)

 It has a toggle button to switch between scientific and fractional
 display.
