Upon further thinking, I think I now get it.

My understanding:

  - =nil= ::
  
    1. Drop the column names from the input, if tabular.
    2. Run the code block, possibly producing results.
    3. Re-add the column names, if any, to the results, if tabular.
  
    N.B. Column names are row #1 if row #2 is a horizontal rule.
  
  - =yes= ::
  
    1. Drop the first row from the input, if tabular.
    2. Run the code block, possibly producing results.
    3. Re-add the row, if any, to the results, if tabular.
  
  - no ::
  
    Do not pre-process tabular inputs.

I noticed that if I pass 'nil (with a quote) instead of nil, everything
works well.  Why is that?  And, no matter why that is, why do we say nil
in the manual instead of 'nil, if that is what the user must write?

Thank you!
