I would have preferred [tmp] and [tmpi], and [calc] and [cali] to
go along with it, but since [tmp] and [tmp-no] were already present,
I just created the new [calc-no] to follow the same naming convention.
As [tmp] and [calc] are already in circulation, renaming it now, or
later, would break sites that use it.
[tmpn] and [calcn] are reasonable workarounds. [tmp-no] has not
appeared in any stable release, so I can make the change if you want
me to.
