To keep things clean, how about an overloaded version of the getCell(int)
method that takes a second parameter so getCell(int, int) for example; manifest
constants could be declared as well so that the user could choose how to handle
the cell if a null value was returned.

Would a "getOrCreateCell(int)" be sufficient for you? That'd check to see
if the get returned null, and create+return if so
Some people will wnat to know the difference between null, blank or normal
cells, so I'm not keen on breaking things for them by default
