Ah,

that sounds like a very good idea, and I like the proposed key bindings.
This will probably come in the form of org-babel-lob-add and
org-babel-lob-remove functions, and a new org-babel-lob-files variable.

I've placed this on the Babel task list.

Now I just need to figure out how to load up these files when Org-mode
is first initialized.  The simplest solution may be to ask the user to
place a call to org-babel-lob-initialize or somesuch in their .emacs
file.

Thanks -- Eric
