Default A function that returns the name of the current cell

CELL() function can return various data about the current cell, but not its
name. It does, however, return row and column serial numbers, so If I want to
lookup some cells in another table that contains their names, I have to use
this:
(CHAR(64+CELL("col",A1)))&CELL("row", A1)
(assuming that the column names have only 1 letter).
I suggest adding a possible value to the info_type argument of the function
CELL():
"name" - Text value containing the name of the cell, for example: C19.
