When the Dynamic Array PR #3962 was introduced, it left the default as Return Array as Value. At some point, the default should be changed to Return Array as Array. This would, of course, be a breaking change, one which will not be part of Release 4. However, it will possibly be part of Release 5.
Rather than relying on the default setting, this PR explicitly sets Return Array as Value when tests require that setting. This will make it easier to identify potential breaks when the default is changed. The entire test suite will now succeed with either setting as default.
In making these changes, a few minor problems were discovered with how Array as Array is handled. These are fixed with this PR.
The latest release seems to not want you to give a class element both a Php type and a doc-block type. I used the "fix" operand to delete the redundant doc-block declarations, with no other changes. So there should be no change to executable code.
While we might never be able to have 100% of our code strict, we can at
the very least do it for all of our tests. This ensures that our tests
are using our API with the types as intended by the test author, and not
silently be cast to what our API requires.
And quite a bit more manual changes. The idea is that typing of our
tests can be a bit more loose, so we assume PHPDoc is mostly correct. If
that happens to be wrong, it should be caught by the tests themselves.
* Fix Unintential Deprecated Calls in Tests - LOGICAL
I think it's best to install these before PR #3166. There are no changes to source code, only to doc-blocks and to test members which continue to inadvertently use calls to deprecated functions.
* Change Unit Tests to Run in Spreadsheet Context
They had been run as direct calls, which is not how most users would use them. Making this change exposed some minor coding errors - SWITCH needs to flatten its arguments, and IFERROR and IFNA were not handling a null testValue in the same manner as Excel.
