Sure, I just reverted the commit.
This discussion made me realize that the various Babel backends may
have different approaches wrt evaluating blocks, returning output and
results, interpreting empty output/result, etc. The mere notion of a
"session" may differ from one language to another.
I wish we can push for more consistency here--perhaps the first stop
would be (1) to pick major backends and (2) document their behaviors.
I'm sure this could help enhancing Org babel code too.
Thanks,
