[O] Wishlist: allow range of table elements to be filled by sbe

Hi,

I'd like to use a babel code block to fill a table with values.  The
sbe elisp function looks like the right thing for this task, but it
appears that the result of the code block always goes into a single
cell of a table.  I can specify ranges of values, but then the entire
output is placed into each of the specified cells.

Here is how I imagine things should work:

#+srcname: shcode
#+begin_src sh :exports output table silent
  echo "1 2 3"
#+end_src

| 1 | 2 | 3 |
#+TBLFM: $1..$3='(sbe shcode)

Note that this is *NOT* real output from the code block in the current
version of org-mode, it's what I want it to be.  There are two things
that cause this to break at the moment:

- The range $1..$3 doesn't work, I have to prepend a row specifier as
  in @<$1..@>$3 or suchlike, which is rather counterintuitive but
  seems to work.

- The output "1 2 3" are not separated into the various cells but all
  placed into each cell.

Or am I doing something wrong here?

  András
