Description

Originally reported on Google Code with ID 109

I use Apache POI to do MS Excel integration. 

This work is probably not in Spock Core, but more likely a plugin. 

I'd like easier integration with Excel. In data driven tests, maybe a convenient way
to reference Excel worksheets and rows. And then some way to make assertions against
the rows or use a row as the expected value in an assertion. 

Just thinking ahead for possible plugin ideas at the next Hackergarten.
