Hello, everyone!

What I want to do is roughly the following:

#+name: for-expansion
#+begin_src scheme
(display "hello world\n")
#+end_quote

#+name: for-input
#+begin_src scheme
(import (srfi 27))
<<for-expansion>>
#+end_src

#+name: block-in-question
#+begin_src shell :shebang "#! /usr/bin/chibi-scheme" :results output
:stdin for-input
(eval (read))
#+end_src

At the moment this doesn't work, because babel _evaluates_ for-input before
feeding it into the next block. It is also not possible to make the
"for-input" block a +begin_quote block, because then <<noweb>> syntax
doesn't get expanded.

At the moment I am getting around it the following way:

#+name: for-expansion
#+begin_src scheme
(display "hello world\n")
#+end_src

#+name: for-input
#+begin_src shell
cat <<EOF
(import (srfi 27))
<<for-expansion>>
EOF
#+end_src

#+name: block-in-question
#+begin_src shell :stdin for-input
(eval (read))
#+end_src

This is not very good for two reasons or which the first one is not super
importand, but the second is:
1)I am losing syntax highlighting in the for-input block
2)I lose the ability to use the EOF letter combination in the scheme code,
which is quite bad, since scheme doesn't have almost any forbidded
characters which I could use to demarcate scheme code.

Is there some way to tell babel to _not_ evaluate a block, but rather feed
it in as is? Or, maybe, instead, allow <<noweb>> references inside the
+begin_example blocks? (I tried substituting begin_quote with
begin_example, but they both seem to be not expanding <<noweb>>.

Any recommendations?
