CAPTION keyword above a source block applies to the source block only.
If the source block generates a table, you have to put a CAPTION above
it, as it will not inherit the caption of the source block.

It also implies that you need to name the results. Otherwise, source
block will not recognize its own production, due to the CAPTION keyword
above it.

HTH,
