Just do C-c ~ and the REPL package will be changed.

Hello,
I have a question, hopefully easy, but I can't seem to find the answer.
I'd like to evaluate a region which contains something like this:
(asdf:load-system '#:foo) (in-package #'foo)
and have my slime REPL actually change its current package.
I realize that some problems can happen with the above, which led me to this page:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/27095320/common-lisp-how-to-get-in-packag...
When I rewrite the above to
(eval-when (:compile-toplevel :load-toplevel :execute) (asdf:load-ssytem '#:foo)) (in-package #'foo)
It loads the package, but can't change the current REPL package to it, SLIME continues to say CL-USER.
I also realize that slime may be LOADing the file, which preserves the current package. Since I get a => <PACKAGE "FOO"> in my *slime-events* buffer I think that may be also happening.
Is there any way to change the current REPL package by using any SLIME evaluation methods that involve evaluating a region? Or must I either manually type (in-package :foo) in the REPL or use the ,in-package SLIME command helper.
I'm just about to write some elisp to take the region, find the slime repl buffer, manually append the region into the REPL buffer, and enter a return to execute it! There must be a better way!
Thank you!
