Solving

.solve() recursively solves for all unknowns. Printing or representing a component / circuit implicitly triggers the solver.

Filtering

• _.z - Only show inferred impedence
• _.p - Only show inferred power
• _('e', 'z') - Custom output filter
• _('e,z') - Calculator shorthand

Grouping

Components can be grouped to prevent further concatenation.

FILTER = (l(1e-3) + c(0.0022e-6)).g
