<pre>All three approaches are not viable. Using a stray function name within an
expression would be a completely exceptional case to all formula parsing, SUM
is a function name that expects opening parenthesis, argument(s) and closing
parenthesis. For the same reason in SUBTOTAL(SUM(B2:B5)) the result of summing
the range B2:B5 is the argument to the SUBTOTAL function. Literal text as
arguments does not play with translated UI functions.
Furthermore, but not least, SUBTOTAL is *defined* by two standards to have the
first argument as a function number and all spreadsheet applications interpret
it as such.
Won't implement.</pre>
