For babel backends specifically, WORG is _the_ documentation for the
built-in backends. It is what we will eventually move to the official
manual and it is what we point users to from the manual for now.

The main reasons why relevant WORG pages are not yet in the manual are
(1) not all the backends yet fully support the common parameters we
introduce in the manual (see
https://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/babel/languages/lang-compat.html);
(2) nobody got around to actually move things to the manual.

Yes. The title of this thread has "across babel backends" :)

Emm... but "command line arguments". No?
