I'm not sure if I'm understanding orgtbl mode correctly per
http://orgmode.org/manual/Tables-in-arbitrary-syntax.html#Tables-in-arbitrary-syntax,
but here is my experience (using the latest code from git).

1) Make something.org, cut and paste in the table from the latex example
http://orgmode.org/manual/A-LaTeX-example.html#A-LaTeX-example, hit C-c
C-c => nothing happens
2) Make something.txt, do M-x orgtbl-mode, cut and paste in the table
from the latex example, hit C-c C-c => latex table is inserted.
3) Make something.org, cut and paste a list from the list example
http://orgmode.org/manual/Radio-lists.html#Radio-lists, hit C-c C-c =>
latex list is inserted.
4) Make something.txt, do M-x orgtbl-mode, cut and paste in the list
example, hit C-c C-c => wrong type argument: commandp, nil

So I get: tables work, but only with minor mode orgtbl-mode and not in org-mode.
Lists work, but only in orgmode and not with minor mode orgtbl-mode.

Is this as intended?  Or, does it even work this way for anyone else?
