As this seems to be the general consensus I've replaced "prefix" with
"preamble" as the header argument name

This is currently possible using the `sbe' function. Arbitrary emacs
lisp can be placed inside of header arguments, and the `sbe' take the
name of a code block and returns its result. e.g.
** Python requires a utf-8 coding prefix
#+source: my-preamble
#+begin_src python :return preamble
preamble = "# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-"
#+end_src
#+begin_src python :preamble (sbe my-preamble) :return s
s = "é"
#+end_src
#+results:
: é
#+begin_src python :preamble # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- :results output
s = "é"
print(s)
#+end_src
#+results:
: é

Tangling works for *any* programming language, even those which have yet
to be created and have no explicit Emacs or Org-mode support, this is
because on tangling the code block is simply treated as text.
Evaluation requires language specific support for both performing the
evaluation and collecting the result. Evaluation can (for example) be
performed using an external file or using a persistent session. Even
when using an external file the contents of the file are often very
different when tangling and exporting, e.g.
#+source: my-preamble
#+begin_src python :return preamble
preamble = "# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-"
#+end_src
tangles to the following (possibly with comments)
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
preamble = "# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-"
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
and is evaluated as the following
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
def main():
preamble = "# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-"
return preamble
open('temporary-result-collection-file', 'w').write( pprint.pformat(main()) )
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
