Summary description: Provide an intuitive LaTeX2 interface for expl3

Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------


LaTeX3 programming layer (expl3) is very powerful for advanced users, but it is 
a little complicated for normal users. This functional package aims to provide 
intuitive LaTeX2 functional interfaces for it.

Although there are functions in LaTeX3, the evaluation of them is from outside 
to inside. With this package, the evaluation of functions is from inside to 
outside, which is the same as other programming languages such as JavaScript or 
Lua. In this way, it is rather easy to debug code too.
