Hmmm. It appears that one can make sbe set multiple cells in the
table -- simply make your code block output multiple results separated
by "|" and set ":results table". This, however, also shifts any
existing cells in the table, thus increasing the number of columns,
instead of just overwriting the given number of cells.

This isn't always practical. In the case of the Org document I'm
writing at the moment, the computation is rather expensive, and my
goal is that you can edit a row in the table and run the calculation
just for that row to see the result. Updating the entire table at
once would be much too slow.

How is setf used? I haven't found it in the documentation.
