Subject: Re: RubyExcel class. Useful?

Ok... having looked over what I want to accomplish with this I've 
decided to go with the following:

Completely rewrite using Arrays as primary internal storage (there's 
always the option to swap with or include Hash later). I rarely deal 
with large gaps in my data so this seems the best approach for now.

Rebuild the internal classes for the different functions (data storage, 
sections, element handling, accessing, etc.) within a class which 
controls the API. I want to try and separate the different types of 
logic and make this easier to work on.

Plan the layout before writing any code this time, and rewrite as 
idiomatically as possible rather than copy-pasting the older code.

This is going to take some time, due to my other work. Still, once it's 
complete it should improve the speed with which I can can write related 
code.
Apologies to anyone who wanted to play around with this anytime soon, 
but I'd rather do it right than do it quickly.
