Disabling functions like print

[kotx]

It might not be good to allow anybody who can eval expressions to print to console. I would like a way to do this in fasteval rather than checking for "print(" in the input or something.

Great idea. One way this might be implemented is by enabling the specification of the output stream, during the 'eval' step. (Right now, it always uses stderr.) This would allow the program to capture the output, or send it to /dev/null, etc.

I want to also mention that 'print' is a bit different than other functions. It has a special syntax and it is the only function that can receive String arguments. So there is probably no way to create a general "override" ability that works for all functions.

Originally, I did allow overriding of functions -- I would check the custom-defined namespace first and only use the built-in functions (like 'print' or 'cos') as a last resort. But as you can imagine, it was very slow to always be doing this kind of check. When I changed the priority of this library to focus on speed, I had to drop that feature.

One other possible way to achieve this would be a Cargo.toml "feature", so the developer could choose whether or not to enable 'print'.

This sounds good. It won't be as customizable, but seems easier to implement.
