Hi Erik,
I am *not* a programmer so expect considerable chaff for every kernel
of wheat (no wheat guaranteed).
I would pass the function an org-mode link then write out the contents
pointed at by the link inside a named code block, with each line
preceded by an optional comment character. If this were written in a
general way, then it would be possible to include comments from any
link--on-line manuals, standards, blogs, etc.--in addition to notes in
the org-mode file.
If it were written in a very general way, with a transformation
function responsible for adding the comment character, then a variety
of transformations might be possible.
I've followed the list long enough to recognize that musings like mine
are often met by the response that org-mode already does this. For
all I know, it does!
All the best,
Tom

Hi Erik,
If the proposed functionality places comments in the source code in
whatever order they appear in the org-mode file, then the result
will likely frustrate literate programming efforts that rearrange
code blocks on tangling.
Yes, thank you for pointing that out.
Another way to get pieces of the org-mode file into the source file
as comments might be with a little helper function, org-babel-copy-
subtree-to-commented-code. The source blocks could be named so the
literate programming facilities of org-babel could work with them.
I'm not following this; could you provide a minimal pseudo-example
of how you see this working in practice?
Thanks!
Erik
