So, embedded calc processes expressions in any buffer, including org
mode, which might look like this:

x := 3

y := 5

z := 3 x - y => 4

where, in this case, the value of z has been determined by calc and the
answer given after the => in the line.  The beauty of embedded calc is
you can change the value of x and the subsequent expressions will be
updated automatically (well, with C-x * u).

I would then love to be able to have a table that would allow me to
include the value of any variable, e.g. z above, something like

| var | value |
|-----+-------|
| x   |     3 |
| z   |     4 |

where the values in the second column are obtained by querying Calc.
