Regardless of what the AutoInput settings are, if the user responds to an
unwanted AutoInput by immediately retyping the cell contents the same way
again, AutoInput should not modify the input the second time around. 

It seems that Excel disables all of its autocorrection if the user retypes the
same thing twice, and many other text input UIs behave in a similar way (such
as the iPhone and other mobile devices).  It is extremely frustrating to users
to not allow them to type the cell contents the way they want to, especially if
they repeatedly enter the same information. It would seem to be an easy
addition to add the capability to detect the user's "insistence" that they
meant what they said. If the user insists, AutoInput should back down and not
change case of what the user has typed.

It seems like this would only very slightly complicate the code by needing to
have a way to store the last input that AutoInput responded to and compare that
against the current entry, but it seems like that should be fairly easy to
implement and that should definitely be the default behavior.
