Dan and Eric,

Just reading the documentation one can get excited by the possibilities it
brings to org-mode.
Thank you for this great contribution.

I have one question, as mentioned in the document on can pass a table to the
code block. Is possible to send a  as a parameter a dynamic clock table?.
For example to create a pie-chart of the clock-table data using R?
