  This procedure analyzes a string representing an Icon function or
  procedure call and evaluates the result.  Operators can be
  used in functional form, as in "*(2,3)".

  This procedure cannot handle nested expressions or control structures.

  It assumes the string is well-formed.  The arguments can only be
  Icon literals. Escapes, commas, and parentheses in strings literals
  are not handled.

  In the case of operators that are both unary and binary, the binary
  form is used.
