I think you're just trying to reinvent the wheel with a weird script... What would one do with 100 layers of text... it's not really useful, one would have to make expressions everywhere... Remember that after effects isn't a coder application, it has been designed for computer graphists 
Anyway, if you think you can do something better than the text animator...

I've seen some of your work (unfortunately, most of your work [if not all] I've seen can be done in ssa too)... Even if you can manage to mask the layer around the effects, you can only apply the same effect once at a time, disallowing the possibilities of overlapping effects which nowadays use quite often. Maybe I do lack of knowledge in AE, but I well understood its limitation before implementing something else. textAnimator is heavily limited, unless I desire to see craptacular effects. I have managed to run AE with over 400 layers without much difficulty. I don't see why not to expand the possibilities. Hence, that's my decision.
The full functional program will include a separate gui exe program to generate .jsx on top of a separate include .jsx file (read and eval) for easy-to-use routines. I think that will be the best choice.
