Yes ok. "1" and "0" would be a much saner (+ usable) default than "0"
and "0". 

Special use of 0 is still not quite intuitive - is it documented? (my
help system is not talking to gnumeric just yet - a quick scan of the
xml shows it isn't.) We should document, it is obviously a useful
feature!

Yes of course. I am concerned about usability so I want a nice default
for all users. "1" and "0" would do that nicely, while my personal
version would become "1" and "1". :)
