Class for writing Excel BIFF records.

From "MICROSOFT EXCEL BINARY FILE FORMAT" by Mark O'Brien (Microsoft Corporation):

BIFF (BInary File Format) is the file format in which Excel documents are saved on disk. A BIFF file is a complete description of an Excel document. BIFF files consist of sequences of variable-length records. There are many different types of BIFF records. For example, one record type describes a formula entered into a cell; one describes the size and location of a window into a document; another describes a picture format.
