hi.  i'm trying to use =org-babel-ref-resolve= to access the values of a
column in a table.  it all works fine for many cases.  however, if the
contents of an entry in the column starts with quotation marks, those
quotation marks disappear, and anything outside the quoted part of the
cell "disappears" (in the result).  see below.

would this be intentional?  a bug?

or, if there's a better way to retrieve the contents of a table column,
i'd love to hear.

cheers, Greg

ps -- it doesn't seem to matter that "35" can be considered an integer;
i.e., "a35" seems to behave the same.
