I guess what I'm saying is that assignment would be really nice.
However, I'm now seeing that this would take a lot of work.

What I'd really like to do is something like the following:

# Total BS financial projection, don't read into this at all
#+BEGIN_SRC calc
derp_expenses := 1234
derp_income := 4315

monthly_balance := derp_income - derp_expenses
monthly_balance =>
monthly_balance * 12 =>
#+END_SRC

#+RESULTS:
: monthly_balance => 3081
: monthly_balance * 12 => 36972

I guess I could use calc embedded mode, but I haven't figured out how to
do that yet. ;)
