Hi Eric,

The :noweb argument works for me with python, but not with R.

This works fine:

> #+srcname: noweb-example
> #+begin_src python
>  a = 28
>  a
> #+end_src
>
> #+resname: noweb-example
> : 28
>
>
> #+begin_src python :noweb
>  # <<noweb-example>>
>  a + 4
> #+end_src
>
> #+resname:
> : 32

This throws an error in the 2nd block "funcall: Symbol's function  
definition is void: R-mode":

> #+srcname: noweb-example
> #+begin_src R
>  a <- 28
>  a
> #+end_src
>
> #+resname: noweb-example
> : 28
>
>
>
> #+begin_src R :noweb
>  # <<noweb-example>>
>  b <- a + 4
>  b
> #+end_src

The first block works fine for R.

Tom
