Damn MS to hell.
ptgAttr type 0 is not documented.  Now we have example of 3
additional flag values @#%! ^!
I'll see if that will help crack this nut.

Nice thought, but it does not seem to be it.  I tried your hunch
and generated a simple sheet with implicit iteration, and none of
the mystery flags appeared.  If you can simplify the results I'd
appreciate it.  OpenCalc does not appear to have a clue either.
