towards something here that can be re-used for any type of source
code in the same manner as the =#+begin_src R= blocks, maybe

blocks are a priority. My =#+R= lines were something totally
different: an attempt to have users specify R code implicitly,
using org-mode option syntax.

single line block. Suggestions? Can we just leave them out? Dan:
I'm not too worried about single line blocks to start off
with. Their main advantage seems to be that they save 2 lines.

way whole external files of source code could be evaluated as if
they were an inline block.

didn't get the meaning of that last clause!?). That way whole
external files of source code could be evaluated as if they were an
inline block. Dan: again I'd say not a massive priority, as I think
all the languages we have in mind have facilities for doing this
natively, thus I think the desired effect can often be achieved from
within a #+begin_src block.
What do you think? Does this accomplish everything we want to be able
to do with embedded R source code blocks?
