Hi,

You could just call the named block from inline:

: value equals call_myval()[:results raw]

The `:results raw' argument should take care of the formatting.

No macros needed. But if you want to use macros, e.g. because the call 
lines get very long, or you want to add fancy formatting around the 
result of each calculation (not what you're looking for here, I 
think), you could write a macro to expand to a call_<name>() expression.

Yours,
Christian
