Heh :-) well, the direction we're trying to take StarBasic is towards
more VBA compatibility; so - if this function is used in VBA and has the
same semantics, there is no problem it should get it straight in.
Wrt. calc there is a lot more UI & documentation work to do there of
course; and the 'FRAC' function appears not to exist for me in Excel -
so there are a number of interop problems that rear their head when this
comes up. ie. if someone uses it in calc, do we try and map this to a
combination of other functions when we export to xls/xlsx ? or ... ;-)
it gets a bit nastier there.
Looking at it, though I don't believe that VBA does have this function
( does it ? ), as such there is no huge problem adding it - but it could
impact interoperability in the future.
Anyhow - Noel liked it, so I pushed it :-)
