Absolutely - but this has been (unfortunately!!!!!!!) be deprecated:

Quoted from the manual [1] :

,----
| [1] The deprecated syntax for default header argument properties, using
| the name of the header argument as a property name directly, evaluates
| the property as seen by the corresponding source block definition. This
| behavior has been kept for backwards compatibility.
`----

I was using this deprecated behavior and I was *very* happy with it, but
I am trying to adjust to the new syntax.

So how can I use the new syntax?
