Me too, but I had to deal with this because doing C-c ' in babel
src-blocks in an *outorg-edit-buffer* might introduce
newlines/indentation even if no editing takes place, and these unwanted
changes cause problems because they are propagated to the original
source file in the outorg conversion process.

So I would say we talk about the same thing, just in a different
context.

Ah, `require-final-newline' was the var I was looking for when dealing
with this. Thx for the tip.

Just gave a hint at the risk that you might be aware of it already.

Anyway, the issue deserves some attention.
