Re: org-table-sum

Hello,

Thanks for the input.

From what I understand, it seems that org-table-sum is not behaving as
expected. I don't know if it would be interesting to split the function
into 2. One for summing of time values and one for summing integers?

For the sum of integers (possibly real numbers) it might be interesting
to make a function use TBLFM directly? 

Best regards,
Jeremie
