<h2>Description</h2>
<p>Without the <code>exp</code> parameter triggers an eval cycle, for this scope and it's child scopes.</p>

<p>With the <code>exp</code> parameter, compiles the expression to a function and calls it with <code>this</code> set
to the current scope and returns the result.</p>

<h2>Example</h2><div ng:non-bindable><pre class="brush: js; html-script: true;">
         var scope = angular.scope();
         scope.a = 1;
         scope.b = 2;

         expect(scope.$eval('a+b')).toEqual(3);
         expect(scope.$eval(function(){ return this.a + this.b; })).toEqual(3);

         scope.$onEval('sum = a+b');
         expect(scope.sum).toEqual(undefined);
         scope.$eval();
         expect(scope.sum).toEqual(3);
