+webcalc
+=======
+
+*through the web calculator*
+
+Usage
+-----
+
+webcalc uses the full path of the URL as a calculator:
+
+ ``http://127.0.0.1:5151/(5+3)/2``
+
+Should yield a ``text/plain`` document with contents ``4.0``.
+
+Query string arguments may be used to iterate over arguments:
+
+ ``http://127.0.0.1:5151/(5+a)/2?a=1..10``
+
+Values and ranges may be comma separated (e.g. ``a=1,3,5..10``).
+Ranges may be specified as *start, step, end*.  If *step* is omitted,
+it is taken to be 1.0.
+
+TODO
+----
+
+ * add multiple front ends, including a graphing calculator
