> 6148555 * | * lisp/calculator.el (calculator-define-key): Undo last change
> c77b816 * | * lisp/calculator.el (calculator-define-key): Silence warning
> f248292 * | * lisp/calculator.el: more improvements and bugfixes.
> 1b4570b * | * lisp/calculator.el: Re-do key bindings.
> e875e68 * | * lisp/calculator.el: improve radix modes
> 5d74a02 * | * lisp/calculator.el: better reading of register names
> fb9ed79 * | * lisp/calculator.el: General improvements

I don't understand: the original bug report described 2 minor issues
and provided a 2-line fix for them.  How come we are now back-porting
no less than 7 commits from master?  Can't we install on emacs-25 just
those two changed lines?
