Way to Make a comment (before, during, after) a calculation #146

Description

If there is not a way to make a comment, I think it would be a very useful addition to qalculate. The closest I have seen so far is title or message in the utilities section of the functions. It kind of works, but I am thinking arguments is what puts a zero or some other number below it when it shows in the history. It would be nice to be able to make a comment before, during or after doing a calculation --- so that when you are looking back through your history later, you can find a calculation you made before much more easily.

For example, you are making a 543 rule calculation (I believe it is) in construction on a building. You are not in the 'trade' or profession, so you don't do it all the time, so you don't have that formula memorized. But you built a shed in the back yard. Later, you are building another shed. If you could quickly go through your history and find, by seeing the comment "Making a 543 rule calc" in your history, then you could see how you made the calculation --- how the rule works. And then easily apply it to your new calculation. Now I know everyone is going to say "just google it". That's fine, when you have Internet access. But what about if you are somewhere that you don't have (gasp! horror!) Internet access, so you can "just google it"?

If it would be all that hard to throw something like this into the code, understandable. Doesn't seem like it would be, so would someone consider adding it to the code? Thanks
