The link I gave is a first approximation of the generic behaviour.
Basically, we could spawn a new Emacs process which could then
evaluation the block synchronously.
One difficulty is to grab the "closure" of the block. Another one is to
collect and insert the results back into the buffer without being
disruptive. The thread above gave hints about that second point.
