Is it possible for the eraser tool to just link to the calligraphy tool in Alt reverse mode? I think it makes sense to have an icon (it's more user friendly, really), but not to duplicate code (or do a less useful job with different code).
If it is possible, could it then use and store different parameters so, in essence, it acts like its own tool but operates exactly the same as the calligraphy tool (with alt reversed)?

I actually quite like the concept of having it as a tool (I'm not a big fan of modifiers when using my tablet), but currently the option in the callig tool is much more useful to me as it has all the fixation etc options that I need to actually make it useable. The eraser is stuck on a slanted fixed angle that makes it a lot less useful than it could be.
Exactly. To make it truly useful as a subtractor, we would need to duplicate most of the Calligraphic tool. Which would be bad from both the UI perspective and the coding perspective.
would be nice if using the eraser on the wacom in the callig tool did the alt mode, if that was the case i think i'd be fine without the seperate tool...
Absolutely. Would it work for everyone if turning the pen over would switch you to Calligraphic tool with Alt reversed, i.e. erasing without Alt and drawing with Alt?
