 Alright, I've made two changes, first, it is now possible to pass elisp
 vectors through to code blocks, e.g.,

 #+begin_src emacs-lisp :var data=[1 2 3]
   (elt data 1)
 #+end_src
 #+results:
 : 2

 Second, I've added a slightly hackey but seemingly necessary
 post-processing step to a call to calc-eval in ob-calc to remove quotes
 from vectors.  This allows vector processing to take place---at least as
 far as my limited calc knowledge is concerned.  For example;

 #+begin_src calc :var y=[1 2 3]
   3 y
 #+end_src
 #+results:
 : [3, 6, 9]

 Hope this helps -- Cheers -- Eric

Indeed. Works very well.  Thanks!

 Further on this, any suggestions on how to pass a vector variable to
 calc using babel?  I tried

 #+begin-src org
   #+begin_src calc :var y=[1 2 3]
 3 y
   #+end_src
 #+end_src

 but get an error that says

 : Bad format in variable contents: Expected a number

 I've tried putting the vector in quotes but that doesn't help either.
 Is this maybe not possible?


 With the newest version of Org-mode, I'm now getting the following
 output.

 #+begin_src calc :var y=[1 2 3]
   3 y
 #+end_src
 #+results:
 : (3, 6)

 Does this look correct?

 Best -- Eric

 This does not look correct: assuming my knowledge of calc is correct,
 the result should be the scalar 3 multiplied by each of the vector
 elements.  I don't understand how =(3, 6)= can be the output of =3 y=...

 The strange thing is that this doesn't work at all for me (with git as
 of a few minutes ago): I still get the error message

 : byte-code: Bad format in variable contents: Expected a number

 However, if I put the vector in double quotes, it works:

   #+begin_src calc :var y=[1 2 3]
 3 y
   #+end_src

   #+results:
   : [3, 6, 9]

 *but* if I subsequently remove the double quotes, it doesn't work and if
 put them back, it no longer works either.  I am confused...  there's
 like a hysteresis loop in org babel :(

 Any suggestions on how to debug this are welcome, of course.

Oh, I just got an even stranger result, with the latest from git...

#+begin_src calc :var y=[1 2 3]
  3 y
#+end_src

#+results:
: 3 hline

something is most certainly wrong...

It does indeed.  It all seems to work just fine now.

I don't necessarily know much more emacs calc than you but the little I
know seems to work just fine.  It's such a powerful package sitting
there mostly idle and org babel is probably the best way to release it
for general use!  Especially for inline calculations...  Time to re-read
the calc manual again and play.

Thanks,
eric
