Higher-Order Functions for Excel

Some of the standard higher-order functions (like Seq.map, Seq.iter, Seq.filter) but implemented for Excel interop. Effortlessly iterate across ranges of cells, reading them, updating them or formatting them. NB. Type-information won't be displayed correctly on fssnip (Office not installed on server presumably), so to get this working paste the code into VS, make yourself a spreadsheet with a range called 'MyRange' and use FSI to explore.
