Description
Description
INDIRECT: Return a reference given a string representation of a reference
Specifically I need this in order to be able to have references to relatively positioned cells without using the current cell reference e.g.
=OFFSET(INDIRECT(ADDRESS(ROW(), COLUMN())),0,-1)
In order to do this, I will also need this issue resolving.

Research direction
Start with the existing formula implementations and the OpenFormula reference linked in the issue, then review issue 1221 because the requested example depends on it. The work is done when INDIRECT accepts a string reference and the described OFFSET/ADDRESS/ROW/COLUMN usage works as specified.
