There might be way to do that, but it's not implemented for shell blocks
since there isn't an easy way to deal with arrays in a shell.  You'd be
much better off using a language that has support for that (like Perl).

In your case (when the first line is always a header and you don't need
hlines anywhere else), the following trick using the end header
arguments of a call line works just as well:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#+NAME: table
#+BEGIN_SRC sh :results table
echo "a b c d"
echo "1 2 3 4"
echo "5 6 7 8"
#+END_SRC

#+CALL: table() :results table :colnames yes

#+RESULTS:
| a | b | c | d |
|---+---+---+---|
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 |
| 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 |
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Achim.
