@regina,

One thing worth noting is that, even if we decide to return empty instead of
value 0 on empty range input, we'll still need to have a version that returns 0
to maintain Excel compatibility.  As much as we don't like to admit it, the rest
of the world is massively dependent upon Excel compatibility for migrating from
Excel to Calc, so we need to provide some kind of bridge for that.

OTOH, for INDIRECT function, for instance, we _may_ opt to have two separate
versions of the same function INDIRECT and INDIRECT_XL, so we could have two
versions with slightly different behaviors.  But keeping two versions of the
same cell function requires more maintenance (i.e. doubles the amount of
function name localization & of course the implementation code).

Just a food for thought. :-)
