> "Array Functions"
> This categorisation seems to me to be inconsistent. Functions which 
> return arrays are:
> MINVERSE, MMULT, MUNIT, TRANSPOSE, FREQUENCY, GROWTH, LINEST, LOGEST, 
> TREND
> Functions which have ForceArray parameters are:
> MDETERM, MINVERSE, MMULT, SUMPRODUCT, SUMX2MY2, SUMX2PY2, SUMXMY2, 
> CORREL, COVAR, FORECAST, FTEST, INTERCEPT, MODE, PEARSON, PROB, RSQ, 
> SLOPE, STEYX, TTEST (and LOOKUP sometimes).
> This doesn't relate to the current functions listed as array functions. 
> We have for instance SUMPRODUCT listed as an array function (but it's 
> really a maths function) but MODE listed in stats (OK) - but both force 
> array_mode calculation. Surely either both should be 'array functions' 
> or both where they belong.
> Perhaps only matrix functions should be in this category: MINVERSE, 
> MMULT, MUNIT, TRANSPOSE, MDETERM. It could then be called 'matrix 
> functions'.
