Yes, since this is most likely a seldom used function (every file is
converted just once) I did not bother to make it interactive. And IIRC
it returns nil and doesn't change window-config because it was written
with batch calls in mind.

Thats a bug, it should be fixed now in branch tj-outorg (which should
actually be faster and better than master anyway and will hopefully be
merged in a few weeks or so).

Here is my org-mode test buffer:

#+BEGIN_ORG
* test
** test2
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(+ 2 2)
#+end_src

#+begin_src picolisp :exports code
(+ 2 2)
#+end_src

#+begin_src emacs-lisp :results value :cache no
(+ 2 2)
#+end_src
#+END_ORG

and here the emacs-lisp-mode output buffer:

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
;; * test
;; ** test2
(+ 2 2)

;; #+begin_src picolisp :exports code
;; (+ 2 2)
;; #+end_src

;; #+header: :cache no
;; #+header: :results value
(+ 2 2)
#+END_SRC
 
which looks ok so far. can you test it too?

PS

What about switches? AFAIK they don't work yet as #+header args, is
that correct? If so, is it planned to make them work as #+header args
in the future?
