In the meantime I downloaded your ob-rec.el, created 
../../org-mode/addlcontrib/lisp directory in torg-mode and saved 
ob-rec.el in there, so that it hopefully won't be overwritten when I 
upgrade or update orgmode from git. I then added (rec . t) to my 
org-babel-load-languages, and

it works!

Please note that I have not experimented with evaluating selection 
expressions within the block, yet.

Thanks.
