> WHAT
> Introduce a new operator, the unary plus as in '+4' or '+b' expressions. JEXL arithmetic already allows using a unary minus operator (the negate operation) so there is logic in having the counterpart.
> The proposed default behaviour would be to:
> - call the 'Math.abs(...)' method for numbers
> - return true for boolean 
> - could uppercase strings ? (should '-' lowercase strings ??)
> HOW
> - Follow the unary minus syntax and construct in the .jjt / ASTUnaryPlus / ParserVisitor
> - Implement Interpreter, Debugger
> - Implement abs in JexlArithmetic
