Would it be possible to add volume calculation/retrieval to the GUI calculator? 
 I hear a need for this functionality fairly frequently, including from non 
Python folks.  

Regarding making function discovery and use easy for the Python Calculator, see 
this as an equally useful functionality to the trace recorder.  I.e., somewhat 
game changing.

The native GUI calculator doesn't support such features. We created the Python 
calculator to a support such functions with ease. We should investigate making 
function discovery easy for the Python calculator for sure.
