The idea on how to distinguish between formula and constant in the cell, should
come from the parsing of the input string; in the string
+123+123

the first char "+" is  the positive sign, 
the second char "+" is the sum operator.

so this MUST be saved as a formula, because an operator is invoked.

Jus to give an example of REAL office work, .... (silly but real)
let's consider to manually sum some invoices in a specific cell;
then you discover a mistake and get back on that cell to find which invoce you
have mistyped;
I the value has been saved as a constant you will have to retype all the list of
numbers; if the FORMULA has been inserted, you will easily find the error and
easily correct it.

Pleas, start considering strings with "-" or "-" char at position 0 as formulas 
!!
