Hi Bernd,
For me there is not a problem to add this function.
It's a good idea but not now.
I look at your code, and I think that it's a good code.
But you added a lot of string, and it's not good for translater.

And for the moment we are in freeze period.
So before to comit you must send your patch.
That's all.

It's my mail (sorry david).

I am sorry, but I worked more than 1 year on kspread
Torben worked a lot of on kspread, david etc...
and I think that write :
"it will be the slowest spreadsheet on this planet"
it's not good for us, there are some problem on kspread, but we worked a lot
of on kspread, perhaps it's slow but it's work, and I think that you can used
kspread in this version.


I don't want to copy Excel, I used some idea of kspread, but I don't want
to create a Excel clone.
Otherwise I used wine+Excel, and it's more easy.
