Re: [office-formula] Our next adventure: Types and conversions
First: Which types?
A. Logical is REQUIRED to be distinct from Number.
    Inconsistent with OOo, Lotus 1-2-3, & many others.
B. Logical is REQUIRED to be the same as Number:
    Inconsistent with Excel, Gnumeric.
C. "Logical" used as a notional type (so that we can easily
   identify functions that take/return logicals), but we
   explicitly permit EITHER of the above.
I recommend "C".  If implementations can co-exist
with this variance, I think we can too.
