True - than simply deliminate them with something like

## <<REF>> BEGIN
...
## <<REF>> END

and *don't* update them at the end?

Probably better: language specific - for R one could write the block to
a temporary file and then insert a =source()= to execute it:


## DO NOT EDIT - AUTO INSERTED - BEGIN
source("<<REF>>.R")
## DO NOT EDIT - AUTO INSERTED - END

Would make debugging much easier, if they would be in the source block
where they are used.

And if no language specific behavior is supplied, use the present
behavior.

Let's do some brainstorming how this could be solved.
