Hmmm... Now you've aroused my interest :) Honestly, I cannot imagine
how would this be possible - I mean, I've already seen the current
implementation, and I kinda doubt that there's any approach other than
manually removing all the parameter type checkings and whatnot, then
converting the rest to KSpreadValue-based stuff - but feel free to
prove me wrong ;)
Oh, and the most obvious approach, ie. creating a koscript-compat
layer and letting the functions operate on top of that, sounds too
much like a dirty hack to me, so I hope that this is not what you
meant ;)

Yes, of course.
