Arthur,

From what I understand, the library of babel is a feature to glob
regularly used (named) code blocks into a single file, for use in
other org files.  While this looks as if it could be used to achieve
what I want (first, ingest some code into the library, then use it
elsewhere) I was hoping for something similar to the sort of thing
that is present in most programming language REPLs: load whatever
source file you want, then use the procedures therein.

I'll take a closer look at it and thanks for your help.
