Maybe we should do this sort of exhaustive search for *all* header argument types. Are there any header arguments aside from :var which could possibly want to take multiple values collected at different levels of inheritance? I suppose :results may also take multiple values which could reasonably be collected across multiple levels of hierarchy. > > So perhaps we should go for a solution involving both the new ":var a=1 > b=2" syntax (to allow multiple :var in the same block), and the > pluralistic inheritance described above (to allow :var to be collected > from all levels in the hierarchy). > That sounds good to me.
