Details

• Prints Epsil, not Wolfram's InputForm: this repo has no Wolfram-syntax printer, and Epsil is InputForm's counterpart here — it round-trips through parseExpression the way InputForm round-trips through Wolfram's own parser.
• expr is evaluated first, then printed — same as Wolfram's own ToString.
