Previously, Crunch only used Vim's floating point library for evaluations. Now, if Qalculate is installed and configured, Crunch can use it for richer syntax.
These settings are rather for compatibility to vim's eval(), but not helpful for the user.

@arecarn I beg your pardon for my impatience, but just a quick remark on how this ought to be improved for inclusion, or should it better be made an independent plug-in using this plug-in as a fallback? Thank you very much for having written it! |

Previously, Crunch only used Vim's floating point library for evaluations. Now, if Qalculate is installed, Crunch can use it for evaluation of a richer syntax. In particular, the somewhat more natural
2^3and2**3instead ofpow(3,2).Disabled by default for backwards compatibility, though many actually might be missing out.
