Eric--

This is great!  Thanks very much.  If you're accepting feature requests,
I'd still love to have a way to use org-table reference syntax to embed
cell values inline.  I don't know whether this is better thought of as a
core or babel feature, though.

Looking at the source of org-table-fix-formulas and
org-table-eval-formula in org-table.el, there may be some room for
refactoring the reference resolution procedure into a standalone
function.  I'm in the middle of wrapping up my thesis and moving, so I
definitely won't look at this any time soon.  If this itch still needs
scratching in September I may revisit it then.  If a talented soul
addresses it before then, even better!

Thanks again,
/au
