It'd be useful to hear formatting (such as borders) when you enter Excel cells if the appropriate formatting preferences are enabled, rather than having to explicitly press NVDA+f. To do this:

1. We need to make speech.speakObject use the TextInfo similar to the way it does for editable text fields.
2. The current code for doing this only speaks the text last in this case, so it also needs to account for speaking it first for table cells.
3. We should probably introduce a reportTextContent attribute or similar to make speakObject use the TextInfo instead of the value, rather than continually hard-coding new cases in speech.speakObject.

Note that though this is for Excel, it's mostly core work.
