I suppose that there is no one who uses Calc, who would in practice benefit from this. Spreadsheets are *specific* domain, with some conventions and simplifications. We also do not try to implement physics of time, when implement time functions; and this one looks very much trying to implement in spreadsheets something that is more suitable for computer algebra systems. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
