Two big IMPROVments:
    
    - allowed   for   more   than   two   dimensions   (with   dynamic
      transpositions).

    - separated the formulas from the data: instead of puting formulas
      in the cells  and having to replicate them  everywhere, you just
      put generic formulas in a list of formula below the cells



It was also a nice example of DASTW (Do A Single Thing Well), using DO
to talk  to a separate graphing  application to draw  nice pictures of
the numbers.
