This is exactly what will happen once we enable special handling of
formatting for full cols/rows.  As things stand now there is no
notion of 'this columns format'.  Our data structures are better
than XL in this.  However, it is a common enough idiom that we'll
add support for them, and when that happens this behavior will fall
out in the wash.
