I can see why you mentioned polymode, but let's not go there yet.

Polymode is a very fragile and complex interleaving between several
indirect buffers with different active major modes that allows "native"
key bindings, minor modes, and fontification in source blocks.

What we are discussing here is closer to
https://github.com/phillord/lentic, which syncs contents of two or more
separate, not indirect, buffers.

There is really nothing much we can borrow from lentic or polymode. It
is fairly straightforward what to do in general. However, the details
like noweb support and code blocks boundaries are to be discussed and
figured out.

In any case, João has a working solution. Once we get some actual patch
that applies onto Org, we can start to improve it incrementally.
