My biggest wish would be for type checking. E.g. if a cell seems to hold a currency value, and one a date, than <currency> + <date> is an error.
So, the idea is to verify that types are used in proper calculations. Some options may specify the stringency of the validation, e.g.: - allow or disallow <currency> + scalar This is more for the financial system, but it would be of huge benefit in that case.
