Man, i need to use Wolfram more. Not being math focused i guess i tended to ignore it, but that's a really cool and easy feature.

Agreed - very cool use of Wolfram. There's probably a niche product here around reproducing this just for finance folks.

I did basically that. It was a natural language processing tool for asking questions about securities. There didn't seem to be much interest.

I just got inspired to look up the relation instead, which was also interesting:

It's one of the "do I spend/save an hour a year on this?" things... to which my answer is "yes."

And thus, its one of the things that I'm quite willing to add to my collection of "spending under $100/year on this."

Combined with the "this is useful as a back end for knowledge lookup", I suspect some of my toy projects will be using it more.
