Hello
I have code like
#+call: foo(x="bar")
that produces
#+results: foo(x="bar")
...
Referring to the results with such a name elsewhere does not seem to
work and is tedious. Is there a way to to rename the results?
i.e.
#+call: foo(x="bar") as foobar
producing
#+results: foobar

Hi Taru,
Thanks for pointing this out.
I'm not sure what the cleanest way would be to refer to these results.
I find that in these situations if I were to try to refer the results of
a call line like
#+call: foo(x="bar")
with something like
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :var foobar=foo(x="bar")
(message "foo of bar is %S" foobar)
#+end_src
Org-babel will end up re-running the foo function passing "bar" as an
argument. This is generally fine with me as it will return the same
value as referencing the results of the #+call line.
The easiest solution would be to simply un-name all #+call results.
This tiny patch does this

However the cleanest solution to me seems to be adding a header
argument, maybe named :resname which could be used to control the name
of the results, then passing an empty :resname argument could result in
the following
#+call: foo(x="bar") :resname
#+results:
...
and supplying a value would allow specific naming
#+call: foo(x="bar") :resname eric
#+results: eric
...
Does that sound like a good solution? Is anyone using results names in
another way which this would not address?
Thanks -- Eric
