Hello to all developers. This is really a useful needed addition to be very
useful to people in electronics-related disciplines. If it needs to be handled
at ODF level then please take it to that level on behalf of us users.

The currently available DEC2BIN, DEC2HEX aren't *that* useful for this
requirement because you can't do arithmetic operations on those, even simple
addition/subtraction, or fill series operations by dragging bottom right handle
of selection etc.

To be able to do such addition etc you have to have a separate row/column/table
of the decimal numbers with the operations and a parallel row/column/table
running the DEC2x functions to get the desired display. This is inelegant as it
causes cluttering of the data and makes things more difficult overall.

If Excel doesn't have this yet then ODF/LibO can be the first on scene!

BTW I also agree that LibO should not by itself prepend any 0x or 0b etc and if
the user wants, they can add it as mentioned in comment #6.

I hope this gets added soon!
