* OCT interface: fix reading shared formula results (bug #52875)
* OCT interface: fix a rare case of nested text cell XML with
special formatting attributes (bug # 53298)

cells in xlsx (bug 533910, credits to Peter Giles

[#53401])
* dbfwrite.m: don't prepend space before string values

* OCT interface: (part of) bug #53459, i.e. reading .xlsx files
with a more complex mix of chartsheets, macrosheets and
worksheets, and exploring such files with xlsfinfo. Writing to
such files however isn't guaranteed to be bug free. However,
other interfaces (POI, UNO) provide a workaround.
* COM interface: clearly distinguish between worksheets and e.g.,
chartsheets when referencing sheets by number.
