Hmm, a nice idea but not quite correct.  I've been planing to change
the dtd for gnumeric-1.2 to support this sort of usage.  However, as
it stands you need to remember that we do _not_ save calculated
results.  Hence your script will eject expressions not their values.

Thanks, we'll definitely keep this use case in mind.
