Back in the 3-days, we had a formula editor. KFormula later went into
Calligra and was chewed into a Flake plugin so we no longer have a
standalone application for editing formulas. That probably isn't bad
from the Calligra POV, but I think KDE-Edu needs a Formula editor - at
least I could use one in Kig.

I can document the whole idea in the wiki but I first wanted to know
if this aligns with the goals of Find the Unloved.
