Possible feature: Anonymous calculation

Potential Problem
Sometimes, when writing a literate-calc-mode
file, I want to have the computer do a quick calculation for me. That calculation is not to stay in the final document.
pizzaPrice = 10 euros
deliveryPrice = 2 euros
pizzaPrice + (deliveryPrice / 3)
That last line would be an example of this "quick calculation". Problem: the program doesn't display the result of this line. I need to assign the result of this calculation to a temporary variable in order to get the result (before immediately deleting it).
Possible solutions
- Display the result for any calculation in the file
- Display the result any line that ends with a specific set of character, for instance "=>"

There is actually no need to set a variable, the line just need to contain equals. In order to fulfil the use case above, just input a =
at the beginning of the line.
pizzaPrice = 10 euros
deliveryPrice = 2 euros
= pizzaPrice + (deliveryPrice / 3)
