Is there a list of expandable TeX macros? LaTeX? e-Tex? others?
According to @ChristianHupfer's comment here
I understood that calculations are possible in a keyval list when the macro is expandable. The macro numexpr being expandable, calculations are possible.
Hence the interest in knowing which macros are and which are not expandable from TeX, LaTeX, e-TeX, etc.

Anything that “stores” data is not (except in LuaTeX). If you have doubts about a particular macrofooyou can dotexttt{meaningfoo}and see if there's any assignment (for exampledef, or any command definition, or anything that stores something).

foo you can do texttt{meaningfoo} and see if there's any assignment (for example def, or any command definition, or anything that stores something).– Manuel
