BTW, here is a tip for those who have avoided using sum() and similar 
functions.

I read the documentation as this function having only one parameter.  
That is, the commas in the example were operator commas and not 
parameter separator commas.  I saw the interesting parsing of 
parameters of format() as an example of that kind of thing, so I was 
not surprised.  My concern was that numberFormat might limit digits in 
the arithmetic.  I didn't use it.

However, I now know that I read the doc wrong.  The function sum() and 
max() can have multiple parameters and are not forced to have a single 
parameter of a comma delimited string.
