Sample Tcl-parser for the "math normal" format:
set input {[frac 1 [sqrt 3]]}
set parsed [subst -nobackslashes -novariables $input]
and things like
proc frac {num denom} { return "($num/$denom)" }
proc sqrt {base} { return "(sqrt($base))" }
Works fairly well, unless you want square brackets in the output.
Working around is managable, but not nice.
Apart from there are the "usual disadvantages" like one more external
dependency etc.
