I wonder if it wouldn't be beneficial to make such a feature explicit. I think
the right shell environment cannot be guessed at runtime. Am I right?
Let's imagine two use cases:
1. I only have zsh on my machine, and I'm writing a document with bash code
blocks. What if the user executing them is using zsh as his default shell?
2. I have both bash and zsh installed on my machine. I want to write some code
blocks in bash, and other in zsh. How can I make the difference explicit?
BTW, a "needed" feature is the executable flag for shell scripts. I found a
reference to it ("PROPOSED make tangled files executable? At least if using
shebang line") on http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/babel/development.php.
Thanks anyway for your marvelous tool (replacing my need for Nuweb, and giving
me much more opportunities),
Seb
