Re: [O] [Babel] :colnames "no" no longer default for Emacs Lisp [Was] Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument listp hline)

Hi Eric,

I think this breaks Marc-Oliver Ihm's lob-table-operations.org.

I use these a lot with #+call: lines.

Any tips on how to get the old behavior back? I tried :colnames no with
one of Marc-Oliver's code blocks, (and kept :colnames yes with my
#+call: line) but this didn't seem to change anything. Instead of the
column names from the original tables, which I used to get, I now get
names like "t1c2".

All the best,
Tom
