Hi Michael,

Of course, on the very rare

As soon as Calc will use OUString instead of String for cell content and
formula results exactly that will happen..

I've seen Calc abused as a front end for some sort of web CMS, holding
entire HTML "template" fragments in one cell ... complaint was that not
more than 64k characters would fit into a formula result when
concatenating those ...

People also complained about Writer paragraphs being limited to 64k
characters ... that's ~15 pages of eye-tiring continuous lines, but ...

which
might reasonably fail, then no doubt we could use the native C method,
and act accordingly if it failed.

I doubt anyone would actually do that, so we could only hope for memory
allocation exiting the application gracefully in that case.
