Hi Myles,

I've just updated the sbe macro so that it is now possible to pass
header arguments through to the called code block.  Specifically, if the
value immediately following the code block name in an sbe call is a
string rather than a variable specification list it will be added to the
code blocks header arguments.  See the example below.

  #+source: test-sbe
  #+begin_src emacs-lisp :var x=0 :var y=0
    (+ x y)
  #+end_src

  | 1 | 2 | :file eric.png | eric.png |
  #+TBLFM: @1$4='(sbe test-sbe $3 (x $1) (y $2))

  | 1 | 2 | :file eric.png | 3 |
  #+TBLFM: @1$4='(sbe test-sbe (x $1) (y $2))

Hope this helps -- Eric
