I'm confused by this response, as the behavior exhibited by org-mode
seems to indicate that :colnames IS affecting emacs-lisp code blocks,
but inconsistenly affecting "called" code blocks -- only applying to the
output but not the input as exhibited in an example in a previous
email.  As to the above, given:

#+name: table1
| 1 | 2 | 3 |
|---+---+---|
| 4 | 5 | 6 |

and the code:

#+name: map1
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :var table=table1 :colnames yes
(mapcar (lambda (row) (mapcar '1+ row)) table)
#+END_SRC

I get:

#+RESULTS: map1
| 1 | 2 | 3 |
|---+---+---|
| 5 | 6 | 7 |

and the `*Message*' buffer contains:
#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
executing Emacs-Lisp code block (map1)...

(table (quote ((4 5 6))))

Code block evaluation complete.
#+END_EXAMPLE

But, removing the :colnames argument:

#+name: map2
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :var table=table1
(mapcar (lambda (row) (mapcar '1+ row)) table)
#+END_SRC

give the error "Wrong type argument: sequencep, hline", and the
message buffer shows:

#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
executing Emacs-Lisp code block (map2)...

(table (quote ((1 2 3) hline (4 5 6))))

Wrong type argument: sequencep, hline
#+END_EXAMPLE

Finally,

#+name: mapp:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :var table=table1
(mapcar (lambda (row) (if (listp row) (mapcar '1+ row) row)) table)
#+END_SRC

#+RESULTS: mapp:
| 2 | 3 | 4 |
|---+---+---|
| 5 | 6 | 7 |

and the message buffer contains:

#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
executing Emacs-Lisp code block (mapp:)...

(table (quote ((1 2 3) hline (4 5 6))))

Code block evaluation complete.
#+END_EXAMPLE


#+name: call1
#+call: map1()

works:

#+RESULTS: call1
| 1 | 2 | 3 |
|---+---+---|
| 5 | 6 | 7 |


with the message:

#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
executing Emacs-Lisp code block (map1)...

(table (quote ((4 5 6))))

((1 2 3) hline (5 6 7))
executing Emacs-Lisp code block (call1)...

(results (quote ((1 2 3) hline (5 6 7))))

Code block evaluation complete.
#+END_EXAMPLE
but:
#+name: call2
#+call: map1(table=table1)

Generates the following message:

#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
executing Emacs-Lisp code block (map1)...

(table (quote ((4 5 6))))

((1 2 3) hline (5 6 7))
executing Emacs-Lisp code block (call1)...

(results (quote ((1 2 3) hline (5 6 7))))

Code block evaluation complete.
