+Nickle is a desk calculator language with powerful programming and
+scripting capabilities. Nickle supports a variety of datatypes, espe-
+cially arbitrary precision integers, rationals, and imprecise reals.
+The input language vaguely resembles C. Some things in C which do not
+translate easily are different, some design choices have been made dif-
+ferently, and a very few features are simply missing.
