For document compatibility with other OpenDoc spreadsheets, the current behavior
should be okay, since the regex setting is part of the spreadsheet document.
With Excel spreadsheets, it shouldn't be too bad, since importing a .xls sets
regex to off, which is the closest to Excel behavior, at least until issue 32344
gets fixed. So I'd interpret this issue as a request that newly created
spreadsheets default to regexes off. I don't think this could break existing
spreadsheets, since regex setting is part of the document. The argument is that
users sophisticated enough to know about regexes probably also can be trusted to
find the setting, but users unfamiliar with regexes seem likely to be surprised.
Adjusting summary, changing to Enhancement.
