    Weird, because I remember a job where we had arrays in Excel cells back in 2008.

      Excel arrays are difficult to work with, exceedingly slow, and didn't have some basic formula support.

      This looks like a very sane implementation, addresses some issues with traditional arrays (while extending them nicely) and implements those much-needed formulas.

        That should be were difficult to work with - that changed drastically with a new calculation engine. This just makes arrays more of a first class cell type.
