*Description*
-------------
A column or row vector is now replicated if used in an array formula
such that a 2D matrix is required by an operation but only a vector was
given. For example, the formula
={1;2;3}
entered as a matrix formula in a range selection of 3 columns by 2 rows
results in two rows with values 1 2 3 each.
This works also in not so trivial cases,
http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=46681 mentions a few use
cases.
This change aligns with the behavior of other spreadsheet applications and
the definition given in the OASIS ODFF/OpenFormula specification available at
http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/documents.php?wg_abbrev=office-formula
