That works, thanks!

However, I really have trouble understanding what are inside and outside
header arguments for.  I still don't get it properly.

Summarizing the above doc:

- "inside" header arguments are applied to the *evaluation of the code
  block*.  They /affect how the code block is evaluated/.

- "end" header arguments do not affect evaluation of the named code
  block; instead, they /affect how the results are incorporated/ into
  the Org mode buffer.

I don't get why one has to add ":eval yes" for both types of headers
arguments.

Moreover, I once read that when evaluating a call line, it is converted
into an ephemeral Emacs Lisp code block equivalent to the call line (and
created at the point of the call line):

  #+begin_src emacs-lisp :var result=<NAME>(<ARGUMENTS>) <INSIDE-HEADER-ARGS>
    result
  #+end_src

which is evaluated in place.

Where do <END-HEADER-ARGS> fit into that picture?

Best regards,
  Seb
