Polymode for literate-calc about literate-calc-mode.el HOT 3 OPEN

Interesting, I hadn’t heard of Polymode.

I’ll have a closer look when I get a chance, but it looks like buffer-locality isn’t preserved properly.

@sulami wonder if you had any further insight into this?

I've been playing a bit with polymode, but it's not really clear to me how it intends to avoid leakage at this point. LCM maintains calculation results in a simple local defvar, but walks the entire (current-buffer) from (point-min) to (point-max), neither of which are affected by isolation.

Wrapping literate-calc-eval-buffer in polymode-inhibit-in-indirect-buffer means it won't run anymore if the cursor is inside an embedded block, but if it runs in the parent buffer it still runs over the contents of all blocks, as they're considered part of the buffer.
