   Users might see it as a good thing to have yet another feature, but this sort of type-softness is why Excel is bad. In general having every feature is a bad thing, you need constraints to design things, to have idioms.

   Making everything flexible is what allows you to make spaghetti that nobody understands.

      I shall embark upon a quest, and the quest’s object shall be thus: to define multiple lambdas within a list, and thereupon, to make cells downstream depend upon the lamda’s, and to make them in turn become lists or values, and so on, until the whole thing breaks.

         If you've got five minutes, you'll be able to crash their Python integration. Probably without trying to do so.
