Thanks for sharing..
Well my conclusion is that is just a bad idea.
Literate programming is great but for other things, as for example
scientific work very dense
of hard to grasp concepts.

If I need many lines to explain some elisp function it normally means
that it's really badly written,
and I just need to rewrite it better.
One thing which is much harder with the single org file is to have
different kind of profiles.

The only way would be to actually tangle to some files and load them on
demand when needed,
but then there is no point in using org-babel in the first place..
And then it's really hard to debug, because since they are not separate
modules is was
almost impossible to understand what was going on, now that I switched
to many smaller
files I solved all my latent problems..
