Please all notice that this discussion first is useful if this prerequisite 
becomes true ;)

So anyone interested in such a substitution should first talk to them. Next, 
you need to prepare good arguments at this time as there is a something like 
a soft feature freeze... ;)

Why? I haven't used Speedcrunch, but from the screenshot it doesn't look too 
different or more advanced, besides that one can see the history. And a

("Now, did I really type 727,72 or 72,727? Let's repeat the calculation, to 
be sure...")
