'   Public  Integral    Returns the definite integral of a function over a
'                       specified interval; sets up the function used by Func.
'                       Uses ArgReplace & SimpsonInt

'   Public  FuncEval    Evaluates a function with constant substitution. Uses
'                       ArgReplace.

'   Private ArgReplace  Replaces constants in an expression with values

'   Private SimpsonInt  Simpson integrator for a previously set up function

'   Private Func        Evaluates a previously setup function for a particular x

  ' Returns the numerical integration of Expression using the Composite

  '   Expression  Expression to integrate. Any valid Excel real-number
  '               expression; must include the integration variable "x", and

  '   xInitial    Initial value of x

  '   xFinal      Final value of x

  '   Intervals   Number of intervals used for integration (will be rounded up
  '               to an even number). The value should be sufficiently large
  '               to achieve required accuracy. Larger values will take longer
  '               to compute.

  '               pair for each constant in Expression.
