--- Comment #1 from PJ Fanning <fannin...@yahoo.com> ---
There is nowhere (to my knowledge) that we have documented that setCellType
preserves the value. You should never assume what the behaviour is, especially
when it is ambiguous. If we change this, we are likely to have users who rely
on it working the way it does right now. POI is 20 years and lots of users are
fairly happy with the way things work or at least, can live with it.

If you would like to provide a new method that converts the cell type while
preserving that value and has test coverage that covers most or all of the
possible combinations of conversions then this change will be reviewed.
