I see no problem with this addition.

I'd prefer to change LIGHT to NO-EVAL, including in
org-babel-get-src-block-info. Changing argument name in function does
not affect its caller in any way. Just need to update the function body
and docstring carefully.

NO-EVAL is already used by org-babel-parse-header-arguments and
org-babel-params-from-properties.

May I know if you are proposing this for a specific purpose?
