/**
 * High level representation of a cell in a row of a spreadsheet.
 * Cells can be numeric, formula-based or string-based (text).  The cell type
 * specifies this.  String cells cannot conatin numbers and numeric cells cannot
 * contain strings (at least according to our model).  Client apps should do the
 * conversions themselves.  Formula cells have the formula string, as well as 
 * the formula result, which can be numeric or string. 
 * <p>
 * Cells should have their number (0 based) before being added to a row.  Only
 * cells that have values should be added.
