I'll have to think on this. It's an interesting idea. But I wonder if it 
wouldn't best be served as a dedicated app in kdeedu. There are just too 
many "weird" things about latin numbers that could be hard to fit into KCalc. 
But a dedicated app would only have to deal with integers, making the math 
engine trivial, only display base ten and latin numbers, and would only need 
basic operations. Let me think on this some more.

Also, I have some other plans for KCalc that may take up much of my spare 
time. I'm currently planning on refactoring much of it as it seems to have 
gathered quite a bit of cruft over the years.
