I've got a branch I haven't touched for like a year with some decent progress on expression parsing & evaluating. I'll try to get it to a MVP state and push - then we can hook it up to this. Let me know if you'd be interested in working off that branch, also.

I think it would be wise to start off somewhere, your branch might be a good place for it, as I'm sure how it would be best to design the code anyway.

This is much more comprehensive. What will be a good way for me to contribute for this PR? What is still needed for it to be ready?

Yeah I got further along than I'd remembered, actually

I'd like to get some more polish on it before releasing it, but probably not too much more needs to be done before it's merge-worthy. I think sometime this week I'll release v1.23.3, then merge #7920. At that point, we can re-group and see what the best path forward is.

We can target #7920, this MR, and #7893 for 1.24.0. Pretty exciting stuff!

Thanks @elazarcoh!
