I committed a patch that loads the current file, not the package. Is that OK?

By convention we don't send snippets of CL code to lisp, especially not encoded as strings (problematic with non-standard reader syntax). The preferred way is to use slime-eval-async or slime-eval and write the function in CL directly.
