I'm still not sure if this path isn't just the outorg path: copy a
subtree or a whole buffer into a temp-buffer, uncomment the comment
sections, enclose the source-code in source-blocks, and put the buffer
in Org-mode - only that the tmp buffer in this case is not for user
editing but for program execution. 

What will be copied to the temp-buffer? Only the comment-section at
point? The subtree at point? The (outcommented) element at point? Won't
some Org functions fail without the subtree/buffer context? What if text
is inserted as side-effect? E.g state change logs when going from TODO
to done, or even footnotes?
