REMARKS
* This function is only available for backwards compatibility and should not be used.
* This is a Volatile function and will change everytime a cell on the worksheet is calculated.
* If "info_type" = "color", then the value 1 is returned if the cell format has coloured font that has been applied for negative values.
* If "info_type" = "format", then you must recalculate this functions if the cell has a custom format applied afterwards.
* If "info_type" = "filename" and the workbook has not been saved, then a blank string is returned.
* If "info_type" = "parentheses", then the value 1 is returned if the cell format has parentheses for positive values.
* This function will update when the workbook is recalculated by pressing F9.
* The information returned is related to the contents, location or formatting of a given cell.
* If "reference" is a range of cells, then the upper left cell is used.
* If "reference" is left blank then the last cell that was changed in the active workbook is used.
* This function will always be single threaded when calling "format" or "address".
* This function cannot be called from VBA, Application.WorksheetFunction.Cell does not exist.
