<pre>MID() is *specified* to take 3 mandatory parameters, see ODFF v1.3 6.20.15 MID
<a href="https://docs.oasis-open.org/office/OpenDocument/v1.3/cs02/part4-formula/OpenDocument-v1.3-cs02-part4-formula.html#MID">https://docs.oasis-open.org/office/OpenDocument/v1.3/cs02/part4-formula/OpenDocument-v1.3-cs02-part4-formula.html#MID</a>
That third parameter is also expected by other spreadsheet implementations so
would have to be written anyway.
It's a rather arbitrary use case that only one character would be obtained by
MID() that would justify a default handling and automatically adding a third
argument of 1.</pre>
