As I just expressed it, I would vote for "show the results as they are", and
"as they would be in a terminal". No special header needed, in my current view
of the Babel world.
In fact, I find the words "partial results" to be rather negative. They just
are the results a terminal would display: they're *all the available results*
that the block can generate in its execution context.
Best regards,
Seb
PS- I wanna repeat I may be proven wrong. Maybe I don't think (yet?) at all
impacts such a decision may have!
