HYPERLINK() function weirdness

Hi,

If someone is assigned the specification of the HYPERLINK function,
please note that it has some really weird "side effects", e.g. the
formula =IF(FALSE();HYPERLINK("http://www.example.org/");"something")
results in a hyperlink cell though the HYPERLINK function will not be
evaluated. The cell contains the (not working) URL and the result
“something”.

Best is probably to follow the specification of
