I assigned them to 'medium' because the "derived" functions like FDIST
and such are in medium as well. As the LEGACY.* functions are
implemented by almost every spreadsheet application, I guess, we could
as well put them into 'small' instead of 'medium', I think that's more
a question of how "smaller" applications like Spreadsheet To Go
implement them. As I don't have access to such an application I'm asking
whether they do support these LEAGACY.* functions?

On the other hand, no application (IMHO) so far supports the FDIST, ...
functions (without LEGACY.) with the Cumulative parameter, so maybe
those functions should go into the 'large' group instead?
