string "12345" becomes the number 12345

The problem with prepending an extra ' is that it will show up in Excel.  For
example, setCellValue("''abc'") causes this to appear in Excel:

    ''abc'

When I double-click the cell and then exit it without changing it, the display
changes to...

    'abc'

...and thereafter behaves the way I want.  But of course I shouldn't have to
double-click every cell to make it appear correctly.  As for the original
problem, if I use '12345 then it starts out displayed as

    '12345

(which is not the intended effect) and only becomes

    12345

after the double-click.

It seems to me we need to know how *Excel* decides to prepend the ', which it
should only do when I double-click the cell for editing.
