We could create a contrib for it if you have something more substantial than a single function.

Nope, this is all I need. It seems a natural enough extension given functions that are in slime now, like `slime-repl-send-string' and `slime-send'.
But let me ask this question. I'm writing an emacs/slime based front-end for a common lisp program I'm developing. The slime repl is considered to be part of the UI of this program. There are emacs commands to send forms to slime via the function I gave, but the user can also type forms into the repl directly. The code that programmatically uses the repl is easier to read and maintain if I write the forms as quoted sexps instead of strings. Or is there a different, better, preferred way to do what I am doing?
