[PATCH] Add light argument to org-babel-lob-get-info

[Ferdinand Pieper <fer@pie.tf>]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 491 bytes --]

Similar to ~org-babel-get-src-block-info~ it is sometimes useful to disable evaluation of lisp parameters when getting the info of a lob call. This patch adds an argument for that.

Better name for the argument could be ~no-eval~, but I decided to stick with the naming in ~org-babel-get-src-block-info~. To be completely consistent with ~org-babel-get-src-block-info~ the argument order could be swapped, but this would break existing function calls. 

What do you think?

Best,
Ferdinand
