Hi,

What about org-sbe is specific to tables?

I'm thinking that the generic replacement could be used elsewhere, e.g.:

(with-current-buffer some-org-mode-buffer
   (org-sbe-v2 "func" ...args...))

The main obstacle preventing using the current org-sbe in this manner is 
that it is a macro, and will eagerly evaluate some things that it shouldn't.
