C# Example

      // First setup the active using statements:
      Evaluator.Run ("using System;");

      int sum = (int) Evaluator.Evaluate ("1+2");

      // A more interesting sample
      Evaluator.Run ("using System.Linq");
      Evaluator.Run ("var numbers = new int [] {1,2,3,4,5};");

      // We know the result is an IEnumerator, cast it.
      IEnumerator even = (IEnumerator) Evaluator.Evaluate ("from x in numbers where (x % 2) == 0 select x");
