Re: org-babel source block unevaluated into variable?

Following up: A function like this one should help.

(defun expand-named-babel-block (block)
    (save-excursion
    (org-babel-goto-named-src-block block)
    (org-babel-expand-src-block)))

However ... there's something strange here with
org-babel-goto-named-src-block (org 9.0.9). It just jumps to the first
source block in the file, which is not that useful :) I'll try to update
org and see.
