huh. that was kinda cool... but the value of default-directory seems to be
correct. However, this helped a bit:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(shell-command-to-string "echo $PWD")
#+END_SRC
#+RESULTS:
: /home/matt/src/org-mode
Not sure what's going on here, but this value is the same in a regular
emacs and "emacs -Q". is this normal?
