The file format has no `@` operator, but formulas with an explicit
implicit intersection were written with a literal `@`
(`<f>@A1:A3*2</f>`). Excel writes `@x` as `_xlfn.SINGLE(x)`, which only
dynamic-array formulas carry. The writer now does the same and marks such
formulas cm="1"; the parser reads `SINGLE(x)` back as `@x`, as it already
does for `ANCHORARRAY` and `#`.
Two cases in the #83 metadata test expected a redundant `@` (`SQRT(@A1:A3)`,
`@A1:A3*2`) to be written as an ordinary formula. Dropping the `@` there is
only lossless if the reader puts it back on legacy formulas, which it
doesn't yet (the read side of #64), so they now expect cm.

formula::parse("Sheet1!$D$1#") failed with "unknown error literal".
A # right after a cell reference is now the spill range operator: it
evaluates to the anchor's current spill range, or #REF! when the cell
doesn't spill (or its spill is blocked). Its users depend on the
anchor, so they recalculate when the spill grows or shrinks. Names can
use it.
Files have no # operator: like Excel, the writer stores A1# as
_xlfn.ANCHORARRAY(A1), and the parser reads that back as A1#.
Delete Cells built the references' edit and then discarded it, so
references into the deleted cells didn't become #REF!, and Insert Cells
treated the shift as a move of everything below, so =SUM(A1:A5) didn't
grow to A1:A6 when A3 was inserted.
Two new structural edits, InsertCells and DeleteCells, adjust a
reference like inserting/deleting rows (columns) when it lies within the
shifted columns (rows), and leave it as it is otherwise, as Excel does.
