My literate-programming tool, https://github.com/jostylr/literate-programming, has this feature. It really is nice to be able to pipe bits of code into various other functions for compiling (or evaling).

The notion I am working towards is actually more of a literate-project. Something that can do all the grunt tasks, such as linting and testing code, importing data, etc. and weave together bits from multiple literate documents.

Do check out org-mode, then. It is surprising how far that tool has been extended.

Many of these features are actually under the label "reproducible research" nowdays. There was a really good talk given on this at a pypy convention a couple of years ago.[1]
