    Removing the mixed comparison flag, which is no longer needed.
    
    This flag was introduced years ago to deal with Excel's behavior on
    incorrectly sorted data range. But later versions of Excel no longer
    follow that behavior & keeping this flag would make the evaluation
    code unnecessarily more complex & hard to adopt to multi-item matching.

Isn't that needed for MATCH and ([HV])LOOKUP with mixed data such as
1,2,3,b,c,d when queried for "a" would return the last less_or_equal
position, hence 3? Or are we now on a good track where when querying for
string we always return #N/A if the less_or_equal match is numeric (and
vice versa)?

Thanks.  Reverted.  Will try to come up with a different approach then.

Kohei
