Suppose I have a code block foo, and I want to call it several times
in my org file. However, foo may be a slow function, and so any time
I evaluate buffer non-interactively (e.g. HTML export) I want to
enable only one out of many calls to :foo
The following doesn't work, but I think it should, since the #+call:
line should run foo with the header argument :eval no-export
#+NAME: foo
#+BEGIN_SRC R :var turn_on_output="FALSE"
if(turn_on_output) { X11() }
#+END_SRC
#+CALL: foo[:eval no-export](turn_on_output="TRUE") ## this STILL
evaluates on export
Furthermore, a better solution to the situation I described above
might be to set the :eval no-export header argument in the source
block definition, and then over-ride it in the one #+call line that I
want to run during export. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem that this
is currently possible.

Thanks for sharing this example. It indicated two bugs in the existing
code base. I've just pushed up fixes for both bugs, the attached
Org-mode file can be used to confirm that this is now working.

#+Title: foo
A buffer in which we want =foo= to be run when called interactively
from /any/ call line, but to only be run by a single call line on
export. Ensure this works by executing this buffer to html while
tracking =foo-called.times= with =tail -f /tmp/foo-called.times=.
#+NAME: foo
#+BEGIN_SRC sh :var id="foo"
echo "called by $id at $(date +%s.%N)" |tee -a /tmp/foo-called.times
#+END_SRC
This will *not* be run on export.
#+call: foo[:eval no-export]("bar")
This *will* be run on export.
#+call: foo("baz")

The reason this second option doesn't work is that there is currently no
positive argument to the :eval header argument, rather it can only be
used to *inhibit* evaluation.
