Can you share the patch (as an attachment)?

Does it add a functionality just for one ob-* library or for babel
evaluation in general?

Can the patch be made so that the ob-* library is still compatible
with previous versions of slime?

If the patch is just for one babel library and completely depends on 
a version of slime that does not exist yet, perhaps it is a good idea
to publish your modified version of that library, test the proposed
feature with your users and see what can be added to Org's core later
on?

Don't hesitate to send an update on this.

Thanks,
