Right. It obviously should have been c! instead, to remind one
that a "formula" could result in sneaky side-effects to other cells.
Or maybe c@ for "see at the formula for what it does". Or even c#
[yes, that's a legal identifier] for the visual reference to cells,
though that would *really* confuse the MS weenines. Or c% since you're
"calculating things, like percentages". Or... Or...

And Zipf's Law (q.v.) implies that if you use it a lot,
you *should* abbreviate it.
