How should I handle babel configuration of exports & results in Dslide?

How should I handle babel configuration of exports & results in Dslide?

[Psionic K]

Because live presentations are a bit different from exporting
documents, I'm not always sure how options should apply.  I'm not an
expert on many of these options and am not sure what will feel
consistent for users.

For context, a user wants :exports results or :exports none to hide
the babel block / results.  Issue is here:
https://github.com/positron-solutions/dslide/issues/1  Is their idea
consistent with the expectations and usages elsewhere?

To implement options from the Dslide configuration, how can I
explicitly change babel block behavior from an Elisp program?

What function is best for cleaning up results of a single block?  I'm
using `org-babel-remove-result'.  Whenever the babel args are :results
replace, I am clearing them on that block both at the start fo the
slide and when going backwards.  Should this behavior interact with
:exports?

As you can see, feedback will be helpful in reconciling my
understanding of the docs versus users actual expectations and common
usage patterns.

Thanks

In some way, presentation can be viewed as export - if you only display
things selectively. So, :exports header argument may indeed be used.
Or you can use a custom header argument...

For example, you can use ox-org exporter.
Or you can pass PARAMS argument to `org-babel-execute-src-block' to
override :results header argument value.
