Fabulous! Thanks!

BTW,

 #+RESULTS: foo

Shouldn't we also return lists deeper than 2 levels as strings? Does it
even make sense to try formatting them into a table?


My vote is no - it doesn't make sense. Let the user pick `:results list' or `:results pp' after it returns a string.

BTW, the string produced when a list cannot be rendered as a table ought to be removable.

The patch makes such strings removable. i.e.

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
org-babel-load-languages
#+END_SRC

will have the ": " prefix or #+begin/end_example delimiters to allow later removal like this:

#+RESULTS:
: ((R . t) (latex . t) ... (sql) ...


HTH,

Subject: [PATCH] ob-core.el: examplify list made into strings

* ob-core.el (org-babel-insert-result): When a list cannot be rendered
  as a table and is turned into a string make it removable if
  `:results replace' (the default) or `:results table' was specified.
