Comment (by kcrisman):
> You need to use double quotes for strings when passing them into the
interface. Otherwise, {{{speed}}} will be treated as an "identifier"
rather than a string. There were some thought on changing this, but it is
backwards incompatible and should be made consistent across interfaces.
Hmm, thanks. Somehow I figured this out a long time ago but completely
forgot - at the very least we need better doc! So is this true for all
the interfaces?
Also, you should post these answers on the ask.sagemath.org question.
Since they're yours :-)
> Additionally,
{{{
r('cars')['"speed"']
}}}
> also works.
Oh my! That is somewhat surprising, but great.
