That is exactly what I was going for.  I thought about the ways this
could be used and the most general-purpose, non-syntax-breaking,
easily-recognizable way I could think of was to use the language's
line-comment construct followed by the standard << >> characters.

# <<foo>>
;; <<bar>>
// <<baz>>

I can see how it might be harder to maintain to allow whitespace in the
noweb-wrap header arg.  I could create a separate org-parse-arg-list
function to ease that burden somewhat.  My opinion is that having the
option to use the examples above is preferable to using non-standard
wrappers, from a third-person point-of-view.
