Checked black-box in Excel for Windows (Microsoft 365) with synthetic
workbooks: a bare name in <c:f> draws the whole chart blank, without a
repair prompt, for workbook- and sheet-scoped names alike, while
`[0]!Name` and `Sheet1!Name` plot.
- Write: a sheet-scoped name is written `Sheet!Name` (quoted when
needed) instead of bare; an already qualified name keeps its sheet;
an undefined name gets `[0]!`. A reference to an unknown sheet is
kept as written. A qualified series name is written as a strRef.
- Resolve: a series name `Sheet1!Name` is looked up on that sheet, as
the evaluator does, instead of being shown as literal text.

Excel writes a workbook-scoped defined name in a chart reference as
`[0]!Name`. The reader kept that text, the lexer took `[0]` for a
structured reference, and the series evaluated to #NAME?: a chart over
dynamic (OFFSET) names opened blank with one #NAME? category.
- Read: `[0]!Name` becomes `Name` in c:f (cat, val, xVal, yVal,
bubbleSize, tx), chartex cx:f and _xlchart names. External books
([1]Sheet1!...), quoted sheet names and strings are untouched.
- Write: a bare workbook-scoped name is written back as `[0]!Name`; a
sheet-scoped name stays bare. A series name that is a defined name is
written as a strRef instead of literal text.
- Resolve: a series name that is a defined name is evaluated.
