I was aware of this and have found it useful.

However, it seems a little inconsistent that some options, like
'#+OPTIONS' or '#+LATEX_HEADER', are cumulative whereas others, like
'#+TBLFM', are not.  Is there a logic to this that I am overlooking?  If
not, is there an overview of how the different options behave?

Cheers,

Loris
