just like in Excel.
Comment 1 Jody Goldberg 2001-06-28 22:37:33 UTC 
It seems that Excel attempts to 'number-match' against several formats
that are not listed in the default set.  This should be easy when we
patch to avoid matching against formats that have the same regexp.

Comment 3 Jody Goldberg 2001-10-16 17:35:54 UTC 
Matching is not the problem, we already use regexps.  It is just a question of adding
more of them, and possibly optimizing thing sto avoid testing multiple regexps
with matching prefixes.
Comment 4 Morten Welinder 2006-02-13 02:37:45 UTC 
Fixed in cvs.  (Better late than never, eh?)
