thanks for bringing that up again. Your example works, of course. After
further inspection I think that variables kill my example:

This code block comes from a file I processed with org-babel-lob-ingest.
o-b-l-i returns the correct number of code blocks in that file and org-bab

#+name: boing
#+begin_src elisp :var range=42
(message "Hello, crude world: %s" range)
#+end_src

This comes from the file where I want to use the code block:

|------------------------------------+--------|
| <2020-02-19 Wed>--<2020-02-21 Fri> | #ERROR |
#+TBLFM: $2='(org-sbe "boing" (range 23))

That fails. After removing the variable from the code block and from
org-sbe it works as expected. It works as well if I copy the code block
including the variable into the file with the table. Might be a bug or
my own stupidity?
