Consider implementing simple arithmetic operations. #12

Closed springcomp closed 2 years ago

I think the spec should support simple arithmetic operations in the way of the +, -, * and / operators.

A few things to keep in mind:

What happens in case of illegal or overflowing operations. Does that return null or does that raise an error ?
Parentheses would need to be involved to override precedence.
The geek in me would love to support proper symbols for arithmetic operators in addition to their ASCII approximations:
- – (U+2212 MINUS SIGN)
- ÷ (U+00F7 DIVISION SIGN)
- × (U+00D7 MULTIPLY SIGN)
