Do you think named cells and ranges in Excel / Google Sheets gets at this problem?


Yes, I think that they certainly help at making spreadsheets more readable. At present Stencila sheets only has named cells but one of the things we want to add soon is mapping of cells onto underlying `data.frames` or matrices. In other words to "project" data objects onto the spreadsheet grid.
