Yes -- and I think I came across this long ago during another attempt and
totally forgot about it. I think I'll write this up on emacs.stackexchange
so others will not have to scrounge around. I'm pursuing this because I
really believe emacs org-mode "reproducible research" is superior to all
other methods so far.
