intentional ( at least from me ) I doubt we want to do formula parsing 
over uno ( I think Kohei would agree )
But whats the question here? are there still references to these strings 
( in some registry file or something ) or are you just wondering why 
they disappeared ( hopefully entirely )

well for sure ExcelVbaProjectFilter should be dead and gone, the others 
well I would bet they were only used by the biffdumper ( which more than 
likely was not completely removed when the commit above was first pushed 
) And...  that was a quite a large commit and I would ( naturally ) have 
been a bit cautious about removing some things that I was unsure were 
still used or not. If they were subsequently removed because they 
'really' weren't used then that is good right? Personally I wouldn't 
spare a thought about the disappearance of any of the above

ditto, goodbye, good riddance

As long as no one else cares than all gone and intentionally so, but 
where's the mess, I didn't find any leftover references ( admittedly I 
only looked at the first few mentioned above )
