U/f string functions will require reworking the HSSF object model a bit

You see currently and o.a.p.h.usermodel.HSSFCell maps directly to 
 o.a.p.h.model.CellValueRecord -- it will now need to map to TWO at the 
same time!  (one formula followed by a string)...  that will break a few 
things -- not horribly but a bit of a task.
