I second Stan's idea! This is something that I have thought about for
years.

No.


I think we'd be better served by having you add something different
to the CI:

   The ability to call a user written function (from an XL)

If you did that, we could write our own date functions...or time
functions...or calendar management functions...or file access
functions...
etc.
