+The goal of this project is to create a library for calculating the
+results of formula expressions stored in multiple named targets, or
+"cells". The cells can be referenced from each other, and the library
+takes care of resolving their dependencies automatically upon calculation.
+The caller can run the calculation routine either in a single-threaded
+mode, or a multi-threaded mode. The library also supports re-calculations
+where the contents of one or more cells have been modified since the last
+calculation, and a partial calculation of only the affected cells need to
+be calculated.
