That behavior is only with formula cells though. Value cells without
formulas are still affected by the option; without being checked the raw
value is exported, when checked the value is exported as displayed by
the number format applied. If you have a good idea how that could be
clarified for the user I'd welcome your patch :-)  Maybe just some
rewording of the option is needed?
