/** describes all items of a DDE connection used in formulas.

    <p>A DDE connection consists of the DDE service name, the DDE topic and a
    list of DDE items which may contain results cached from the last update.</p>

    <p>The formula that would need this information for example would contain
    <code>=[1]!'R1C1'</code> or <code>=[2]!'Sheet1.A1'</code> where
    <em>[1]</em> is an external link with DDE service name "excel" and the
    topic "X:\PATH\[FILE.XLSX]Sheet1", and <em>[2]</em> contains service
    "soffice" and topic "file:///X:/PATH/FILE.ODS". The service name is stored
    in <member>DDELinkInfo::Service</member>, the topic is stored in
    <member>DDELinkInfo::Topic</member>. Note that if the DDE item contains
    single quotes they are escaped by doubling them, as usual, for example
    <code>=[2]!'''Sheet name''.A1'</code> in a "soffice" service.</p>
