And the same for bc(1) and `bc -q', etc. Note, dc(1), embedded in bc
for the GNU version, doesn't spew forth; surely a bug!? :-)
How I wrinkle my nose at that noise. I think RMS should have put Unix's
insight of having no needless output for the user to scan, unlike say
DEC VMS, above the promotion of GNU.
