discoleo,
have you tried the patch attached in this issue? it will be easier to know
what is 'left out' from the patch.

This is what the patch does:
<this is very similar to excel> (you can interchange '+' and '-' for the below
examples)
+1 => +1
+1+2 => =+1+2
+exe => =+exe
+<arrow> => starts the formula input mode (i.e. become +A1 etc..)
++a => =++a
-4^2 => =-4^2
+A1+A2 => =+A1+A2
'+abcd => string +abcd
+abcd => if it generates an error then it is shown as an error (similar to
what excel does) - probably the user made a typo! (consider this,
=inf("system")
generates an error then why shouldn't +inf("system") generate an error?)
(import is not considered in the patch so importing a .csv file with +4+2 will
give +4+2 in the cell - this is because exporting would have been =+4+2 (in case
the user typed +4+2 it would have converted it to =+4+2))
And yes, as far as i can see from the above comments, we are considering adding
an option to disable this feature (mmeeks, nn, er would be able to comment
better here).
[Waiting for comments from user experience team - in the mean while i will work
on adding an option to disable this - more the features better it is! :)]
