The Cache Format
ScDocument::StoreTabToCache allows storing the content (not the formatting) of a table to a binary cache format.
The format is column orientated which allows quick serialization of the table.

Functions Supporting Wildcards or Regular Expressions
As this comes up every now and then, and rather should be documented in an extra list of the Help system, functions that support Wildcards or Regular Expressions and depend on the setting under Tools -> Options -> Calc -> Calculate are those that in ODF OpenFormula (ODFF) are defined to depend on the HOST-USE-REGULAR-EXPRESSIONS or HOST-USE-WILDCARDS properties, see ODF v1.3 part4 3.4 Host-Defined Behaviors https://docs.oasis-open.org/office/OpenDocument/v1.3/os/part4-formula/OpenDocument-v1.3-os-part4-formula.html#__RefHeading__1017868_715980110
