thanks for the examples, but they don't meet my needs as tables for each set of arguments would be too unwieldy.
what would be ideal is to allow setting noweb expansions in the call line (instead of requiring named blocks to provide the expansion). i.e. it is similar to setting a var, but is a noweb setting instead. then i would just do the call with the files i want, quoted the way i want. may i make this a feature request?
