Oh!
Thank you for making this clear, I had assumed that #+PROPERTIES: lines
were an integral part of Org-mode which code block header arguments were
simply making use of. Having read the section of the info manual you
point out above I see that I was mistaken. I've just pushed up what I
consider to be a clean implementation. Put briefly the new behavior is
that "properties may be used to specify header arguments". More
completely...
1. The #+PROPERTIES: (and #+BABEL:) directives no longer exist.
2. The existing #+PROPERTY: line may now be used to specify values for
header arguments, e.g.,
#+PROPERTY: results silent
would silence all results in the current buffer.
I think this should be simple, easy to remember, and it certainly
cleaned up the code base. Please let me know what you think of this new
setup.
Thanks -- Eric
