Hello,

Org-mode provides the function to edit code blocks in their languages =
native environment. If you want do literate programming you'll end up =
with web-syntax (<<the-block-to-be-included-here>> ) in the environment =
org-special-edit started.=20

I'd like to purpose, that before opening the special language =
environment, the code-block should be tangled to a temporary file. Then =
a buffer should be stated with that file loaded in its native language =
environment. If you'd do that the code would really be executable and =
therefore debuggable and analyzable with the tools the programming =
language provides. =20

You'll have to keep track on the tangled code blocks then. I think some =
info in comments should do the trick. I uploaded a mockup of what I mean =
here: http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/3503145/org-feature-mockup.pdf

best regards,
Dirk.=
