Hi,
I would like to suggest changing the name to 'org-babel-load-lisp' as
current name of this function doesn't emphasise that it can tangle and
load "emacs-lisp" code blocks only.
Another problem is that currently 'compile' option is performed every time.
Which is plain wrong.
Compile option is supposed to improve load time and should be performed
only when it's neccessary.
Marcin

The name was probably picked in analogy to the corresponding emacs-lisp
function `load-file' which also loads lisp files only. The latter is
much too well entrenched to ever consider renaming. The org-babel
version is certainly not, so renaming it is a possibility, although IMO
it's a hassle without much payoff: C-h f org-babel-load-file tells you
what you need to know.
