Agreed! Although I am coming from a completely different perspective (Developer using it for literate programming), org-babel is, in fact, as the kids say, the bomb.

One of the things you could do here is to search forward or backward for #+BEGIN_SRC. You could even record a macro to make it. That would at least hold you over till it was developed.
I also agree about completion based on the name of the source block. That would be very handy. If I may be so bold as to piggyback on Austins feature request, if the gathering of the candidates happened in a separate function from the interactive function that does the completion, then it could be used by packages like auto-complete.
