	Wow - it would be just wonderful to turn that into some run-time unit
test, that we can automatically execute during the build :-)

	Did you see the sc/qa/unit/ code for fiddling with calc ? I suppose we
could use a simpler CppUnit unit test (hopefully without the UNO mess)
inside basic/ ? If we have the skeleton there, it gives much more
confidence for re-factoring I think.

	This is really great work; looking forward to Noel's review.

	That's just great :-)

	Thanks !
