  "Execute a library-of-babel block.

  These blocks do not have their own body. Instead they use
  a :srcname header argument to reference a different source
  block, whose body they use. Source blocks in the library of
  babel should use a standard naming scheme for the variable
  containing the input data for analysis / plotting. E.g. if that
  variable is always called __data__ then one of these bodyless
  babel blocks will call a library of babel block using :var
  __data__=<some reference>. The header args from a babel block
  are appended to the header args from the target block.

  This function is called by `org-babel-execute-src-block'."
