Default extracting numerics from literal strings

Yeah, I probably should do that. At the same time, it would be far

Begging the question whether it'd be useful to try to convince Microsoft to add
regular expressions to Excel or at least VBA since they already exist in
VBScript. But we all know Microsoft's willingness to add *useful* features to
Excel. How much you wanna bet we'll get a flashing text format before regexps?
