[O] org-babel noweb-ref

Hello dear list,

First of all, this may be related:

- https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2012-01/msg00044.html

- Org: src_emacs-lisp{org-version} {{{results(=9.1.14=)}}}
- Parabola GNU/Linux: src_bash{uname -r} {{{results(=5.2.5-gnu-1=)}}}

I prepared the following hoping that it makes the issue clear. Let me 
know :) .

#+CAPTION: This works if ~org-babel-use-quick-and-dirty-noweb-expansion~ 
is ~nil~, but I don't want to import everything from ~libraries~
#+BEGIN_SRC python :tangle routines1.py :noweb yes :shebang # -*- 
coding: utf-8 -*-
  <<libraries>>


  <<routines>>
#+END_SRC

* Explanation with example

- I noticed some differences between the output of tangling and 
previewing org-babel blocks.
- ~org-babel-use-quick-and-dirty-noweb-expansion~ interferes with 
~:noweb~ in a way that I did not expect

I want to know
1. if this is the expected behaviour
2. how I can expand a named block (which has ~#+name: tag~) which is 
inside a subtree (subheading with the ~:noweb-ref~ property)

** Option 1

Set src_emacs-lisp{(setq org-babel-use-quick-and-dirty-noweb-expansion 
nil)}

#+BEGIN_SRC python :tangle /tmp/routines1.py :noweb yes :shebang # -*- 
coding: utf-8 -*-
  <<imp1.py>>


  <<routines>>
#+END_SRC

- Preview shows empty lines instead of ~imp1.py~ and no ~shebang~

  #+BEGIN_SRC python



    def fun1():
        pass


    def fun2():
        pass
  #+END_SRC

- Tangled ~/tmp/routines2.py~ shows ~shebang~, but no ~imp1.py~.

  #+BEGIN_SRC python
    # -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
    def fun1():
        pass


    def fun2():
        pass
  #+END_SRC


*** What I expected

1. Both Preview and tangling to have the same content
2. for ~imp1.py~ to be expanded at the top of the code as ~import numpy 
as np~.

** Option 2

src_emacs-lisp{(setq org-babel-use-quick-and-dirty-noweb-expansion t)}

#+BEGIN_SRC python :tangle /tmp/routines2.py :noweb yes :shebang # -*- 
coding: utf-8 -*-
  <<imp1.py>>


  <<routines>>
#+END_SRC

- Preview shows

  #+BEGIN_SRC python
    import numpy as np


  #+END_SRC

- Tangled ~/tmp/routines2.py~ shows

  #+BEGIN_SRC python
    # -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
    import numpy as np
  #+END_SRC

*** What I expected

According to the manual, ~<<routines>>~ would not be solved correctly 
(as shown), but I expected to have the ~shebang~ in the preview.

A further comment can be made about the extra space (related to 
~:noweb-sep~), but that is minor and I don't care.

** Routines

:END:

  def fun1():
      pass
#+END_SRC

#+NAME: fun2.py
#+BEGIN_SRC python
  def fun2():
      pass
#+END_SRC

** Libraries
:PROPERTIES:
:header-args: :noweb-ref libraries
:END:

#+NAME: imp1.py
#+BEGIN_SRC python
  import numpy as np
#+END_SRC

#+NAME: imp2.py
