emacs -Q
C-h f calc-mode ; No match
C-h v calc-mode ; No match
C-h f calc
calc is an interactive autoloaded Lisp function in ‘calc.el’.
It is bound to <menu-bar> <tools> <calc>.
(calc &optional ARG FULL-DISPLAY INTERACTIVE)
The Emacs Calculator. Full documentation is listed under "calc-mode".
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Huh? We send users off to consult the "full documentation"
of "calc-mode" (which presumably should be `calc-mode')?
And just where should a user expect that documentation
"calc-mode" to be "listed"?
Something is wrong here, at least from a user point of view.
C-h r
i calc ; No match
Something is wrong here too. Calc should at least be mentioned
in the Emacs manual. There should be a cross reference there
to the Calc manual. Searching for `calc' in the Emacs manual
finds only one reference:
• David Gillespie wrote the Common Lisp compatibility packages;
‘Calc’, an advanced calculator and mathematical tool, since
maintained and developed by Jay Belanger; ‘complete.el’, a partial
completion mechanism; and ‘edmacro.el’, a package for editing
keyboard macros.
In GNU Emacs 25.2.1 (x86_64-w64-mingw32)
of 2017-04-24 built on LAPHROAIG
Windowing system distributor 'Microsoft Corp.', version 6.1.7601
Configured using:
'configure --without-dbus --without-compress-install 'CFLAGS=-O2
-static -g3''
