When checking for suspicious header arguments on[1]:

#+name: mean
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :var lst=()
  (let ((num (car lst)) (nums (cdr lst)))
    (/ (float (+ num (apply #'+ nums))) (1+ (length nums))))
#+end_src

it reports:

    supplied header ""var"" is suspiciously close to ""dir""

Can you enlighten me on what's suspicious here?

Best regards,
