Hi, I've just learned about =org-babel-expand-src-block= (from [1]) which seems like an improvement over =org-edit-special=, because variables are expanded.
But I notice two issues with it, and I'm wondering if these are intentional or bugs, or if there are work-arounds. First, the buffer is read-only (which someone else claims is a bug [2]), and second, if I make changes and then exit the expanded block (via C-') without saving, the changes are lost. If I enter =org-edit-special= and exit w/o saving, the changes are propagated back to the buffer. Cheers, -k.
