 - Feature:	(MBaker) Added new rangeToArray() and namedRangeToArray() methods to the PHPExcel_Worksheet object.
 					 Functionally, these are identical to the toArray() method, except that they take an additional first parameter of a Range (e.g. 'B2:C3') or a Named Range name.
 					 Modified the toArray() method so that it actually uses rangeToArray().
