The xls exporter maps state from many related modules/classes.  You
would need to create several instances, its not impossible, or even
that hard, but it is definitely not a single class.

Workbook
    contains sheets.
    contains cells and cols and rows
    cells contain values

We do have a fair number of nice abstractions, but as with all
programs we abstract the interfaces we forsee having multiple
implementations.  There is a nice Model View Controller split in
place for workbooks and sheets.  This allows us to have multiple
views and different controls (eg gtk vs printer and eventually
text).

It is possible, but it depends alot on where you'd like to poke at
things.
