noted, thanks

The only difference is that sbe is a function name, and to name a
function call (a function which will take up that term in the entire
Emacs-lisp namespace across all applications) seems somewhat pushy.

I would be happy for results to change to data or tblname (if a table)
or whatever else is selected.

I'll mark you down as undecided for this term. :)

I don't feel that this example causes as much confusion, but if I'm
wrong I am open to change on this front.  Although the only possible
change here would be to remove the second option as the first method of
specifying variables is central to code block management.
