The MathCore guys kindly sent me a link to the document describing the
subset that they support:

  http://www.mathcore.com/resources/documents/mathcodec++_subset.pdf

They don't support:

  Pattern matching
  Arbitrary-precision arithmetic
  Symbolic manipulation
  Negative array indexing
  Strings
  IO
  Efficient array resizing
  Expressions

Most of these are easy to implement if you target a higher-level language
than C++.
