Got it, and thanks for the new variable tip!
Out of curiosity, is there a consensus that this is the preferred
behavior for tangling by default? I'm guessing at some point it was
decided that the need was preferred to have these bits inserted
before/after code blocks, but just trying to confirm this. It seems
odd to me, at least given R's behavior, that someone would prefer
these bits to show up in the tangled file since they appeared to serve
the purpose of having Org not fail during export vs. benefitting the
code in any way (if I wasn't running code through R, I'd just get the
errors directly).
