Two caveats:

 - The documentation for each function should mention that some MS
implementations differ. 

 - Also, it would be useful to have an audit tool that highlighted use
of any such functions.  Picture this scenario: "Gnumeric imports my XL
file, but it gets different results, therefore gnumeric is junk".

For now, we could start a list of such functions in the TODO file.  Or
maybe this is documented in the regression tests?
