Thanks for the feedback, guys.  I decided to pushed that now, with 
further modifications, as 
<http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=0e4b36269097f8865bdbc1b9d299a2776ae0cc06>. 
  I inspected all the remaining calls to GetAutoFormat, and all (except 
the one in ~ScAutoFormatObj) call GetCount and/or operator[] on the 
returned ScAutoFormat, and since the ScAutoFormat ctor calls Insert to 
add at least one element, code calling GetCount or operator[] does 
behave differently for

   p = ScGlobal::GetOrCreateAutoFormat();
   ... p->GetCount() ...

than for

   p = ScGlobal::GetAutoFormat();
   if (p) { ... p->GetCount() ...

So I changed them to call GetOrCreateAutoFormat now.  (So, as we end up 
with one call to GetAutoFormat only, I could also have switched to 
Kohei's HasAutoFormat suggestion.  But I had to modify all the other 
places anyway, removing the redundant null-checks.)

Markus' more ambitious (but most certainly even better, in terms of 
ultimate correctness) ideas about ScAutoFormatObj - ScModel - ScGlobal 
lifecycle remain as-of-yet unaddressed.
