Well actually in versions other than CVS you would actually lose the
formula you had typed. Recently this was changed to pop-up an error
dialog just like Excel.

Currently you will _have_ to get the formula right or prepend a '
manually or it won't let you exit. However the error dialog will have
some buttons added so you can either correct it or disregard the input.
An extra button should probably be added so you can just store it as a
string or something.
