Wow - there are many...

But this helps quite a bit.

So your original code, returns the "property called 'header-args'",
(1) while your function below returns the one from 2) above. That
clarifies.

Thanks - but I was thinking about the ot=her way round, how I could get
the "property called 'header-args'" (1) within the function called when
using C-c C-v C-i to help in debugging - found a way of doing it and
will send a patch.

Most definitely,
