Subject: Using babel to generate org syntax for export

Hi,
Got a question that's not easy to search online.
I want to use an org table to define glossary entries for LaTeX. I have my
table[1], and I have a src block[2] that reads the table and produces the
right syntax[3]. This is already pretty helpful -- I can C-c C-c the source
block and manually copy/paste the generated syntax into the org file that I
will then export.
But... I want babel to do that for me automatically. I'm almost there, but:
The resulting string is put into a verbatim environment -- which is not
right for this case. I need the string to be inserted as if it were org
syntax ("#+LATEX_HEADER" and all) that I typed by hand, and then ox-latex
would process it like any other LaTeX header.
I've tried both ":results value" and ": results output" but the verbatim
environment is always there.
A quick glance at ob-core.el seems to indicate that this behavior is
hardcoded. That's... frustrating: spend 2-3 hours to get this far and then
find that babel says, "No, you can't do that, actually."
So, I'm at the end of the energy I have left to test various approaches.
What's the best approach? I'm guessing, apply a filter to remove the
begin/end verbatim lines. But maybe there's a magic switch in babel?
