What doesn't work? You call `org-babel-lob-ingest', specify a file, and
it stores all source code blocks in the file for later use.

This should be #+call: write(...)

Your second block defines a function, but doesn't return its results.
"#+call: myelsquare(...)" expects to find a block named "myelsquare",
not an Elisp function named "myelsquare".
