There are three variants of `putCell` in backing map. Disabling `@CompileStatic` here reactivates the default groovy behavior of selecting methods based on the *runtime* types of the arguments. This is multi-dispatch because the method to be called is based not only on the runtime type of `backingMap` (common polymorphism behavior in object-oriented programming), but also on the runtime type of the arguments. Without this, one would have to use work-arounds like the awkward visitor pattern.
