I just applied your patches.  Besides a quick test that went very well,
I can not say much.  The functionality is exactly what would help me a
lot to separate session information for R and shell blocks.  But given
the example in the code, this is known to you.

I would love to see that functionality in org and did not experience any
problems after applying the patches.
