In my personal experience, it's calculators. I put command-line
calculators into *everything*... often in the form of more general
executors, and thus restricted to admins, but it's still a calculator.

For some reason, the ability to type "calc 1+2" and get back 3 is very
satisfying to me. You know, in case I ever forget what one plus two
makes.
