Well, at some point in the future, any named (range/formula/...) will be
interpreted as a column identifier.
There is a simple rule to remove this ambiguity, and I hope OOo Calc and ODF
implement it:
RULE:
=====
Named 'ranges/expressions/...' shall have precedence over column identifiers.
If a column identifier needs to be used when a similarly named
'range/expression/...' does exist, the column identifier needs to be escaped.
This solves elegantly the problem even for the most distant future (e.g. a
spreadsheet with NO column/row limitations!)
RATIONALE
=========
If a 'range/expression/whatever' has been named, THEN the user most definitely
wants to use this name in subsequent expressions, so it is more likely that he
indeed wants this name and NOT the column ID.
Escaping the name is counterproductive because the scope of the name is to ease
usage.
