Hi Seb,

earlier in this thread, I attached a patch which allows string results
in tables which look like elisp to be interpreted literally, e.g.,

#+results: elisp-looking-table
| 1 | (+ 1 1) |
| 2 | (+ 2 2) |
| 3 | (+ 3 3) |

#+begin_src perl :var data=elisp-looking-table[1,1]
  $data
#+end_src

results in

#+results:
: (+ 2 2)

rather than

#+results:
: 4

It like doubel dollar sign syntax in table evaluation has bit-rot.  It
appears that some other part of Org-mode now interprets the double
dollar sign as a prompt to the user -- although I can't seem to find the
relevant code.  The `sbe' in-table evaluation could use some attention.

Best -- Eric
