Hello
in GNU Emacs 21.4.1 on Debian testing/unstable using the debian calc package
when I give the "algebraic" formula
4+6/10
it evaluates to 23:5 which I think is the right answer since the
standard convention is that division has precedence over addition.
How ever on GNU Emacs 22.0.51.1 (multi-tty) the same algebraic
expession evaluates to 1, which means that addition is evaluated
before the division. Is this the intended behaviour or is this a bug?
Even if this is the intended behaviour I would still suggest that it
*is* a bug!
