Here's a more fun :post function (again depending on cl).

#+NAME: add_hline
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :var data='((a b c) (d e f) (h i j)) h='(0 -2 100 last)
  (let* ((d (copy-list data))
         (h0 (delq nil
                   (mapcar (lambda (e)
                             (when (or (not (numberp e)) (< (abs e) (length 
data)))
                               (cond 
                                ((equal e 'last) (length data))
                                ((and (numberp e) (< e 0)) (+ (length data) e))
                                (t e))))
                           (if (listp h) h (list h)))))
         (h1 (number-sequence 0 (1- (length h0))))
         (H (mapcar* '+ h0 h1))) 
    (dolist (x H) (push 'hline (nthcdr x d)))
    d)
#+END_SRC

#+BEGIN_SRC sh :post add_hline(data=*this*, h='(0 1 last))
echo "a b c d"
echo "1 2 3 4"
echo "5 6 7 8"
#+END_SRC

#+RESULTS:
|---+---+---+---|
| a | b | c | d |
|---+---+---+---|
