Tools to evaluate strings containing mathematical expressions.

# Expression evaluator

```kotlin
val expression = "x + y"
val constants = mapOf("x" to 1.0, "y" to 2.0)
evaluateExpression(expression, constants)
```
## Built-in expression functions

Unary functions:
 * `abs(x)`
 * `acos(x)`
 * `asin(x)`
 * `atan(x)`
 * `ceil(x)`
 * `cos(x)`
 * `degrees(x)`
 * `exps(x)`
 * `floor(x)`
 * `radians(x)`
 * `round(x)`
 * `saturate(x)`, clamp x to [0.0, 1.0]
 * `sqrt(x)`
 * `tan(x)`

Binary functions:
 * `atan2(x, y)`
 * `length(x, y)`, the Euclidean length of the vector (x,y)
 * `max(x, y)`,
 * `min(x, y)`,
 * `pow(x, n)`
 * `random(x, y)`, return a random number in [x, y)
 
Ternary functions:
 * `length(x, y, z)`, the Euclidean length of the vector (x, y, z)
 * `max(x, y, z)`
 * `min(x, y, z)`
 * `mix(l, r, f)`
 * `smoothstep(e0, e1, x)`
 * `sum(x, y, z)`

Quaternary functions:
* `length(x, y, z, w)`, the Euclidean length of the vector (x, y, z)
* `max(a, b, c, d)`
* `min(a, b, c, d)`
* `sum(a, b, c, d)`

Quinary functions:
* `map(x0, x1, y0, y1, v)`
* `max(a, b, c, d, e)`
* `min(a, b, c, d, e)`
* `sum(a, b, c, d, e)`

# Compiled functions

```kotlin
val expression = "x * 5.0 + cos(x)"
val f = compileFunction1(expression, "x")
f(0.0)
```

```kotlin
val expression = "x * 5.0 + cos(x) * y"
val f = compileFunction2(expression, "x", "y")
f(0.0, 0.4)
```

# Property delegates

```kotlin
val constants = mutableMapOf("width" to 300.0)
val settings = object {
    var xExpression = "cos(t) * 50.0 + width / 2.0"
}
val xFunction by watchingExpression1(settings::xExpression, "t", constants)

xFunction(1.0)
```
