Hi ilya,

No, the above workflow is not wrapped up in any existing single Babel
function.  If you wanted to implement this yourself you could do so with
a custom emacs lisp function or perhaps more easily, you could either;

1. add one code block to the file which calls all other code blocks and
   performs the result comparison, or

2. you could do what we did when initially testing the Babel
   functionality, and include all of your tests in a single table along
   with the expected results, you can then use the `sbe' function from
   table formulas, to run all code blocks by evaluating the table.
