Undefined function assignments
Okay, here are the undefined function assignments.  BAHTTEXT/NUMBERTEXT is dead, and I'm assigning myself LOOKUP (it's not currently covered).  We're reaching closure...!

- ??? Eike Rathke ("I think we (OOo Calc team) can provide some definition for that, hopefully by end of the month."). But that's not as hopeful...!

Eike's also working on CODE, CHAR, and the new functions UNICODE and UNICHAR, which all relate to this.

Recently done: CONVERT, GROWTH, NETWORKDAYS, WORKDAY, FREQUENCY, CELL (CELL isn't in the posted draft yet)

Dropped or to be dropped: DATESTRING, RTD, HYPGEOMVERT, BAHTTEXT/NUMBERTEXT

Obviously we're having discussions about WEEKNUM and some other functions.
