[O] [PATCH v2 2/3] ob-table: Fix org-sbe's handling of list arguments

[Vladimir Panteleev]

* ob-table.el (org-sbe): Add an explicit case for handling list
arguments. This avoids doing the wrong thing (%s-formatting a list,
thus losing syntax like double-quotes). This enables passing org-table
ranges through org-sbe in a simple and correct manner.

* test-ob-table.el: Add test.
