If you have a couple of minutes, can you clarify some points to be sure I can
understand:

- What do you call functional-syntax vars?  The ones in the #+srcname, next to
  the block name, as opposed to the ones declared as :var arguments?

  The fact, then, that we can get a clearer message in case of error, seems to
  me an incentive to use that type of declaration...

- Why was `nullability' not detected to have no default value?  Why were
  `table', `column' and `type' well correctly detected?

Best regards,
  Seb
