=== math-eval
Evaluates each selection as a math expression.
Note that this is similar to `|bc`, but does not spawn a new process for each selection.
Uses link:https://docs.rs/evalexpr/latest/evalexpr/[evalexpr^] to evaluate expressions.
* Aliases: `bc`

====
=== set
Performs set operations on selections with registers.
This requires at least one register to contain selections (`"xZ` where `x` is the one-letter register name).
* First argument is the register and operation
** For example `a-b` or `a&b` or `_?b`
* Operations
** `&` - Set intersection
** `-`/`\\` - Set subtraction (order matters)
** `+` - Set union
** `?`/`=` - Set comparison (order matters)
This will open a new scratch buffer comparing the selection counts and content
* Registers
** Any register `a-z`/`A-Z` works
** `_` is treated as the current selection, and does not require you to manually set a register
*** For example, `a-_` will return the set of selections in `a` that are not currently selected in the editor
