That was a quick replay! Thanks.
If I understand you, the problem is not with org-babel, but with
org-mode itself expanding column references. In this case, wouldn't it
be possible to consider a general "quoting" mechanism preventing that
expansion? obviously "'" cannot be used, but maybe $$2 could be made to
mean "threat the value literally".
I'd be ok with the quotes in the source, but they look terrible in
exported documents.
Anyhow, I can live with the workaround you suggested.
Thanks again,
Maurizio
