The challenge with solving this problem (I'd think) is that you don't want to
break *anyone's* spreadsheet.  So unless there is a simple way to tell that
you're looking at an Excel spreadsheet (or one that was converted from Excel?),
it's hard to know what sort of wildcards to use.

Writing code to handle MSO wildcards wouldn't be hard, but figuring out when to
use them seems to me to be very hard.  But maybe there is already some sort of
tracking of where files originated? It's still a hard user-interface problem,
since users are liable to be confused if the same formula behaves differently
in two different spreadsheets...

I think it's an important bug to fix, but am afraid that it may be very hard to
find a reasonable option for fixing it.  :(
