JSEN: JavaScript Expression Notation

That idea I was talking about yesterday? Storing mathematical expressions as JSON? I went ahead and made it as a TypeScript project and released it on GitHub:

JavaScript Expression Notation (JSEN)

Still need to complete the unit test coverage and add a couple more features. I made a change from my original post to the syntax for namespace references. (The reason? I realized I needed to be able to use "*" as a local identifier for multiplication.) They work within Namespace declaration blocks, but I need to make them work at the higher level of Namespaces declaration blocks as well. (Done.) I also want to allow functions to be used as namespaces. (Done.)

This is possible right now:

jsen.decl('my-fake-namespace', {
   'js': 'http://ecma-international.org/ecma-262/5.1',

   'x': 10,
   'y': ['js:Array', 1, 2, 3],
   'z': ['js:[]', 'y', 1]
});

jsen.eval('my-fake-namespace', 'x'); // 10
jsen.eval('my-fake-namespace', 'y'); // [1, 2, 3]
jsen.eval('my-fake-namespace', 'z'); // 2

jsen.expr('my-fake-namespace', 'x'); // 10 // Deprecated
jsen.expr('my-fake-namespace', 'y'); // Deprecated
    // ["http://ecma-international.org/ecma-262/5.1:Array", 1, 2, 3]
jsen.expr('my-fake-namespace', 'z'); // Deprecated
    // ["http://ecma-international.org/ecma-262/5.1:[]", "y", 1]

Eventually something like this will be possible as well:

jsen.namesonnodes.decl();

jsen.decl({
