The uses are maybe too niche to warrant the breaking change. A syntax
extension like
: var=block-id[]
seems possible, even though brackets are already overloaded.
One alternative is to only allow the syntax inside noweb brackets
instead of generic variable arguments. I assume there'd be much less
breakage. It would also makes sense to allow noweb references instead
of block ids. We'd add support for
: <<babel-fn(var=noweb-ref)>>
and <<babel-fn(var=block-id)>> would also insert the contents as a
by-product.
Do you have any example of use in mind, beyond my original one ?
