The `org-babel-lob-ingest' function is used to load the source-code
blocks defined in an Org-mode file into the global
`org-babel-library-of-babel' variable.  The functions defined in this
variable can be called from any Org-mode file.  This makes it possible
to build a set of often-used generally applicable source-code blocks.

The idea behind the library-of-babel.org file distributed with Org-mode
is to share such functions throughout the entire Org-mode community.
