This is a bit on the side, but speaking of :colnames, we should perhaps document that it also takes a list as an argument. The manual states:

The ‘colnames’ header argument accepts ‘yes’, ‘no’, or ‘nil’ values.

That sounds like an exhaustive list, and it's the only place where colnames is indexed. It might be worth mentioning that one can also add colnames to the output even if there aren't any to begin with, e.g.:

#+begin_src elisp :colnames '("Odd" "Even")
'((1 2) (3 4) (5 6))
#+end_src

#+RESULTS:
| Odd | Even |
|-----+------|
|   1 |    2 |
|   3 |    4 |
|   5 |    6 |

But I think this belongs under [[info:org#Results of Evaluation]] rather
than[[info:org#Environment of a Code Block]].

I wish I'd known this years ago!

All the best,
Tom
