I suggest that you put all the formulas (at the SAME time as you write
the code) to the documentation. In my experience, it makes writing the
code itself easier, as you can continually check, even if you write
formulas twice. See e.g.

I would be very happy to use that, but I think it is not possible
currently:

1. We would have to find out how it works in python; I believe it is
only supported only in >= 3.0.

2. The script to replace literals with their unicode codes is really
horrible, I think it is not acceptable.
