Hi All

I've been working on increasing the number of columns in calc to 16384. Where I am now is that the CUT tests pass, not the SCK or JUT or UIT tests.

Forwarding discussion with mmeeks below:

So where I am right now is a little stuck.

        Ah ! =)

I have fixed various latent overflow bugs, such that the CUT tests pass,
and we can load/save spreadsheets with lots of columns.

But the SCK/JUT/UIT tests fail because .... "ROW" is a valid column and
some tests are using stuff like "ROW1" as a named range.

        Wow - what fun ! =) we go to XFD of course; any other fun words we can
 think of that intersect.

        What does Excel do for that ? (perhaps check names before columns or
 something(?) or de-mangle and check names).

Now I can rename those in the test, but obviously that is not going to
work well in the wild.

        Right; I wonder how common that is in the wild.

Any suggestions ?

        Do we have the list of names as/when we're parsing the formulae
 typically ? my hope would be that in ODF they're beforehand, and that
 for XLS[X] we can get at them first (?) Of course - actually in ODF they
 are at the end after the cell data which is seriously dumb (huh!)

        Could we push the names of the names through the address de-mangler,
 and just warn the user in this case (?) - as long as people are not
 caught unawares - I'd imagine that we can survive (?) =)
