Hi Jarmo,

thanks for the explanations -- I should I've read your doc patch 
more closely. 

It is a nice spreadsheet utility function but my feeling is that
having it in Org's core does not really fit, as it introduces
functions where we usually have references.  Functions are fine
for users to add, though, that's the whole point of allowing
Elisp in table formulas.

Maybe I'm too conservative on this one.  I will wait for other
users' insight -- especially Carsten, who can better decide what
fits and what does not in this area.

Thanks,

-- 
 Bastien
