Re: [O] [babel] feature request: automatically connect source code block to its session

[Eric Schulte]

This seems reasonable,

Do you know how ESS associates a code buffer with a session (i.e. is
there some buffer-local variable which holds the session name)?

With this information in hand it shouldn't be difficult to expand the
C-' behavior for R s.t. it automatically associates the resulting
Org-Src buffer with the proper R session.

Good idea.  Best -- Eric
