I'll try to take a look at it later this week, we'll see.  I'll be at
a conference next week, so can probably solve it then, worse to worse.

For an API, would you want to be able to:

C-u N C-c <binding to eval chunks>

to do the current and next N-1 chunks, i.e. C-u 4 C-c <binding to eval chunk> 
does the current and next 3 chunks?  Or would the API you describe
(eval-and-step) suffice?

Comments?
