Text box that do math

In the video "VideoDemonstratingAdTextBoxThatCanDoMath" you can clearly see the properties of the TextBox. It would be really nice to have that implemented on all advance steel connections. Since a lot of the time a use the calculator on my hand and copy (visually) the results.
Another property that would help us A LOT would be to convert inches into mm, so for instance I type this in the text box : 3/8" . The " represents the inches symbol, with it the textBox events would convert the value to => 9,53 mm.

Yes,

We could do that using math parser in the textbox of our own plugins. Some plugins try to calculate profiles also. So it needs additional cautions
