I agree now (as i did then), with the functionality and understand why
and how it works, but i still find having to execute a source block
before being able to attribute the results counter-intuitive (as have
others). It's kind of like having to wait for the house to be built
before you can decide/buy the paint to finish it: ) But I also, don't
see any better way to provide the useful functionality of being able
to attribute the code block and results separately --- although in my
normal use cases, i don't usually export both code and results
together.
