+#!/usr/local/bin/zsh -i
+#
+# Zsh calculator.  Understands most ordinary arithmetic expressions.
+# Line editing and history are available. A blank line or `q' quits.
+#
+# Runs as a script or a function.  If used as a function, the history
+# is remembered for reuse in a later call (and also currently in the
+# shell's own history).  There are various problems using this as a
+# script, so a function is recommended.
+#
+# The prompt shows a number for the current line.  The corresponding
+# result can be referred to with $<line-no>, e.g.
+#   1> 32 + 10
+#   42
+#   2> $1 ** 2
+#   1764
+# The set of remembered numbers is primed with anything given on the
+# command line.  For example,
+#   zcalc '2 * 16'
+#   1> 32                     # printed by function
+#   2> $1 + 2                 # typed by user
+#   34
+#   3> 
+# Here, 32 is stored as $1.  This works in the obvious way for any
+# number of arguments.
+#
+# If the mathfunc library is available, probably understands most system
+# mathematical functions.  The left parenthesis must be adjacent to the
+# end of the function name, to distinguish from shell parameters
+# (translation: to prevent the maintainers from having to write proper
+# lookahead parsing).  For example,
+#   1> sqrt(2)
+#   1.4142135623730951
+# is right, but `sqrt (2)' will give you an error.
+#
+# You can do things with parameters like
+#   1> pi = 4.0 * atan(1)
+# too.  These go into global parameters, so be careful.  You can declare
+# local variables, however:
+#   1> local pi
+# but note this can't appear on the same line as a calculation.  Don't
+# use the variables listed in the `local' and `integer' lines below
+# (translation: I can't be bothered to provide a sandbox).
+#
+# Some constants are already available: (case sensitive as always):
+#   PI     pi, i.e. 3.1415926545897931
+#   E      e, i.e. 2.7182818284590455
+#
+# You can also change the output base.
+#   1> [#16]
+#   1>
+# Changes the default output to hexadecimal with numbers preceded by `16#'.
+# Note the line isn't remembered.
+#   2> [##16]
+#   2>
+# Change the default output base to hexadecimal with no prefix.
+#   3> [#]
+# Reset the default output base.
+#
+# This is based on the builtin feature that you can change the output base
+# of a given expression.  For example,
+#   1> [##16]  32 + 20 / 2
+#   2A
+#   2> 
+# prints the result of the calculation in hexadecimal.
+#
+# You can't change the default input base, but the shell allows any small
+# integer as a base:
+#   1> 2#1111
+#   15
+#   2> [##13] 13#6 * 13#9
+#   42
+# and the standard C-like notation with a leading 0x for hexadecimal is
+# also understood.  However, leading 0 for octal is not understood --- it's
+# too confusing in a calculator.  Use 8#777 etc.
+#
+#
+# To do:
+# - separate zcalc history from shell history using arrays --- or allow
+#   zsh to switch internally to and from array-based history.
+# - allow setting number of decimal places for display, scientific notation, 
+#   etc.
