Hello Kyle,

thank you for the review. It is much appreciated as lisp (and Emacs lisp
in particular) is not the language I am most fluent in.

calc-simplify-mode is not part of the default calc mode plist, thus
adding it to the plist does not work without this change.

I can do this.

Funny. This is also the style I prefer, but I wrote the code to conform
to the style used in this context. I can fix this too.

I thought alphabetical ordering was the most natural. Which other
ordering would make sense?

I'll send an updated series later today.
