      IMHO this was a highly retrograde step that was taken. There is / was
no real problem with having a single formula compiler, in one place that
can parse lots of different types of formulae.

See my previous mail, the actual reason to factor it out was the report
designer wanted to use the formula wizard.

      It would be far more efficient and sensible IMHO to simply pass the
incoming formula as strings over to the core: what we used to do before
the brave-new-re-write to use masses of UNO ;-)

Yes and no.. simpler and more efficient yes, though the UNO filter
approach could be used for other formula languages as well. Not that
I do foresee some in the near future, but..
