I still think overriding exist files is dangerous, user can lost data because of it, so it should be safer if org-babel-tangle can let user decide how to deal with it. Besides, if a code block is not changed and I have already tangled it before, I don't want org-babel-tangle to update the last modified timestamp of the tangle-file every time I tangle, as along as there is no actual changes. It is simply unnecessary to me and makes the last modified timestamp more or less useless. So I would like org-babel-tangle let me choose what I want. [...]
