I'm seeing what seems to be some inconsistent treatment of :var header
args.  Or maybe I'm just missing something.   I'm trying to follow:

http://orgmode.org/manual/Header-arguments-in-Org-mode-properties.html#Header-arguments-in-Org-mode-properties

and I find that the local :var works (of course) and the outline level
one also works, but the document-level one does not.

Minimal example, with my results, below.

I'm wondering if I'm thinking about the problem wrong.  What I'm trying
to accomplish is setting, at a document level, a few variables which I
would like to be accessible in every code block in this document.

I know I can set them independently on every block, but that seems
tiresome.
