I have just come across the Calc feature where textual column and row labels
are recognised automatically as names for column and row ranges respectively. 
Very nice feature, and this goes some way towards meeting my enhancement
request: it does appear to behave as desired for single-row and single-column
ranges.  

However, as far as I can see it does not allow you to handle ranges of multiple
columns or rows.  For example, sum('Col 1':'Col 3') does not work.  Although
cases where we want to add together the values in multiples columns or rows
might be regarded as rare, handling references to multiple columns or rows is
vital to the VLOOKUP and HLOOKUP functions.  

One way of meeting this enhancement request might be to enhance this feature,
so that something like sum('Col 1':'Col 3') would work.  This could turn out to
be a greater complication, and I leave that decision to the designers!
