Thanks!

May it be better to make :tangle header argument compound?
Like ":tangle "file" export". Similar to :results header argument. See
"16.6 Results of Evaluation" section of Org manual.

Also, some general comments on the patches:

1. Please make sure that patches do not leave Org in broken state in the
   middle of the patchset. Your patch #1 adds two `defun's in the middle
   of `org-babel-detangle', which is not right.
   
2. When naming private functions, "--" should be after library prefix:
   org-babel--...
   
3. Please do not use private functions from third-party libraries. I am
   talking about `cl--set-buffer-substring' in particular.

4. Please make sure that docstrings clearly describe what the function
   does, each of its arguments, and the expected return value.
   In the patch, `org-babel-detangle--block-contents', NEAREST is
   ambiguous. The actual meaning is "block at point or previous block".

5. Pay attention to buffer boundaries. In particular, remember that
   buffer may be narrowed when you call a command and that expressions
   like (+ 2 (line-beginning-position)) may resolve beyond
   `point-min'/`point-max'.

6. Avoid using cryptic list functions like `cdadar' when you can use
   something more readable.

7. When naming functions or macros, make sure that the name is roughly
   describing the purpose of the function. In `org-babel-detangle', you
   added `single-block-metrics' local function that does not only do the
   metrics, but also (unexpectedly!) calls
   `org-babel-detangle-single-block'. This is especially important for
   local functions that lack docstring.

8. In `org-babel-tangle', (setq block-counter (+ 1 block-counter))
   appears to be misplaced into outer sexp level after your patch.

9. In commit messages, please mark newly added functions clearly.
   Like "(org-babel-foo): New function. It does this and that."
   Same for commit summaries - "lisp/ob-tangle.el: Detangle a single
   block" is awkward. You should clearly indicate that you added
   something new to the library.
