Hello,

Please note that cells can be renamed and you have auto-completion on renamed cells.

Concerning the letters case, maybe it would be even more flexible if the user had some sort of hook function to pre-process cell names that are not in the renamed cell list, then you could set this function to upcase, but some other setting could allow to enter some coordinate.

Rahter than applying your patch, I can update the code in this way.
