Since we have a usable copy method in Spreadsheet, this is probably overkill, especially with serialization now allowed. Nevertheless, I would prefer to not artificially render a standard Php operation (clone) unusable.
Fix#4362. A similar problem to 4360, Style not handling sheet name with embedded apostrophe properly. And, with two examples in hand, I was able to determine a pattern to find and fix other possible exposures.
Fix #4357.`identify` returns a type, not a class name, and this result is not always usable for createReader. The docs say that it is usable in that manner. Changing the behavior of `identify` would be a breaking change, but adding an optional parameter (defaulting to current behavior) allowing it to return a class name rather than a type would not. This PR adds that parameter and updates the documentation to suggest its use for the code in question.
To complete this change, `createReader` now accepts either a type (current behavior) or class name (new). Although it is not particularly identified as a possible problem by the issue, `createWriter` is similarly changed for consistency's sake.
We currently use Phpstan Release 1. Release 2 has been available for some time, and we would like to stay current if possible. In order to get to Release 2, we first have to pass the "bleeding edge" tests for Release 1. I will do this by generating a new baseline using bleeding edge, then fix the baseline errors over several different PR's. This is the first of those.
Fix#4249. Technically speaking, only the 1.29 branch needs fixing, and only for TEXT. It was fixed for the other branches by PR #3898. However, in adding test cases for the fix, it became apparent that PhpSpreadsheet's parsing in TIMEVALUE (which is called from TEXT in the original issue) did not really match Excel's. There are probably still edge cases where it doesn't, but, in the absence of a spec for how it operates, this will do for now.
We do not usually backport fixes from the master branch. Because this is more of a forward port from the earlier branch, there is an equivalent PR for each active branch.
Its defaults are to unescape within single quotes, and escape within double quotes and here-docs. Right now, it leaves everything as-is, which means our code is inconsistent and need not be. Further, although dealing with complex regular expressions will never be easy, I find it much easier to figure out what's going on when superfluous back-slashes are removed.
These changes were all made automatically using the "fix" script, so should be reliable. They, of course, pass all unit tests.
