Nicolas, how did you do that? Your version is 25% faster than mine,
and the code is 33% shorter! Very elegant.

Sorry, I may not understood what you said:
= Since you're changing the signature, I suggest to provide the table
= element instead of ORG-AT-TABLE-P. AFAICT, `org-babel-read-element',
= through `org-babel-read-table', would greatly benefit from this.

Could you elaborate (if still relevant)?

The side effect of `re-search-forward' was to advance point, while
`looking-at' don't move. This does not matter anymore.

Right! I didn't noticed...

Yes! 25%
My two unit tests give correct results.

Nice team work, thank you too!
