Dope slap!  The obvious answer is: use emacs (M-x ses-mode), where
formulas are elisp functions!

(/ 3329.10 10) works, and makes a whole lot more sense than
=QUOTIENT(3329.10;10) any day, *and* actually results in a correct
answer!

My mantra of "If emacs can't do it, then I don't need to!" seems to
continue to be correct :)
