Just 2+2, etc.. It's probably not neccessary to include native arithmetics
since it can easily be done using 3rd party tools. But if there is a lot of
demand I guess it might be easy to add a simple Let command (I'm sure there
are several small C libraries around that allow the avaluation of simple C
like arithmetic expressions). OTOH such a command can also be easily forged
by using Perl or other tools, maybe an example should be added to the FAQ.
