And some of my respones:
> What does Excel do for that ? (perhaps check names before columns or
something(?) or de-mangle and check names).
No idea. Apparently Excel clamps old documents to 1024 columns. We may need to do something similar i.e. have an option to explicitly enable >1024 columns.
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 (?) =)
That is a possibility. The problem is really that we decide at a very low level (down in address.cxx) what we are looking at, and that lacks context, and we call into there from all over the place with not much more than a string, and try and decide if it is some kind of named thing, and cell reference, or a named reference, etc.
Not ideal.
