Prototype and test idea

[tombooth]

I've thrown together a little something that tests a couple of cases. Please comment on this, definitely less than ideal!

Hi Tom,

thanks for writing this. What are the things you consider "less than ideal"?

Would it look better, if we rethought the API for a more fluent compositional style instead of staying close to the V1 API?

The fonts and styles are not the highest priority, but I think they can be rewritten in a better style with the new API by e.g. assigning a name (e.g. :headline) when creating them. This could be stored in the Clojure state map and the the symbolic name could then be used to access them when they are applied.

On a further note, I think we could provide sensible defaults to the functions, for example, the -seqfunctions would not need to require more than a workbook. We could have a cursor concept and set it to default to the first cell of the first row of the first sheet: :cursor {:row 1, :cell :a, :sheet "Sheet1"} and then se that as a reference: row-seq would then enumerate the rows of the current sheet selected by the :cursor :sheet (navigating there in the POI instance as needed) so we would not need all the assert about where we are etc.
