It would make sense to first verify that LOGNORMAL does what it is
supposed to do, i.e., what it does for Excel.  It is well known that
arguments to Excel's statistical functions can be illogical or worse.
Nevertheless, changing the semantics away from Excel's is only going
to make things worse.

If you need consistency, use the "R" functions: R.DLNORM, R.PLNORM,
and R.QLNORM.
