The short answer: no, not yet.  I didn't even realize you could name
cells/columns/rows :-).  (Can you tell that I don't actually USE Excel, I
only interface with it ;-) ).  

It appears Cells, Columns and Rows can have names.  While I'm sure we'll
implement this in time, we'll not have a key-cell lookup so we'll probably
leave the logic to find it in the row to the user so that the api is not
deceptive.  (storing these by that key would be too expensive).. This is
just me guessing.

Glen, can you take a look at this and see how hard it would be to implement
it?  My in-laws are in town this weekend and I'll be working on HDF next.

Thanks,

Andy
