Example file from Calc

Calc can autofill cells with user list items such as days, months. 
This works if two selected cells contain adjacent items from a user list, but not if the items are 2 or more positions apart in the list.
Excel can detect non-adjacent user list items so migrating users can expect this feature from Calc too.

Steps to reproduce:
    1. Open attached file
    2. The A2:B2 range contains January and March
    3. C2:F2 was autofilled by selecting A2:B2 and pulling right. Month names are autofilled starting from March in B2 and increasing by one instead of two.
    4. A3:C3 range contains January, April and July, and it was selected and pulled to the right to autofill D3:G3 range. Month names are autofilled starting from July in C3 and are increased by one instead of three.
    5. C5:F5 and D6:H6 ranges demonstrates what Excel would do with a similar setup.

Actual results:
As above.

Expected results:
Calc should detect non-subsequent user list items when autofilling with two or more selected cells and apply user list items according to the difference between items found in the selected cells.
