Personally I'm opposed to this. I find pantheon-calculator too basic, I
understand we aim at simplicity, but it's really lacking many basic
features. And while it surely looks better than gnome-calculator as a
standalone app, I don't find it elementarish at all, it's completely
different from every other app. Besides, at this point in the development
cycle, we should not add new features, let alone new apps.
