In fact, both... If we wanna still allow nice editing of code blocks, without
forcing the users to use the indirect buffer, one must be able to quickly
select, let's say a defvar, and copy it somewhere else; like we would do in
the programming mode buffer (and like we did in the Org buffer, up to the
change with C-down).

Best regards,
