.... and the mapping package ..... (think of .shp, .dxf and the various
raster file formats.)

Good idea, Carnë.

That said, for io it would only be the reading of (especially) .xlsx files
that would benefit.
Properly writing those files can only be tested by Excel itself :-(  (only
to some extent by LibreOffice)

I still may have several example files that I used for debugging that were
handed to me in good faith, yet I think it could be a lot of work to
"anonymize" them.
