Could we could have a "strict" mode, where the following both throw errors?

  = "3" + 4

  = A1 + 4 where A1 contains "'9" (text number)

That would give Calc a huge advantage in mission-critical applications, where 
Excel (and currently Calc) simply can't be used because of sometimes evaluating 
text to zero, sometimes to its numeric value, and sometimes throwing an error.

Incidentally, see also issue 58903 and
