I was actually wanting this only a few days ago.  I use python, and I
can now select a piece of code and with one keystroke, run it in an
interpreter and check that it does something sensible, doesn't have
syntax errors, etc.

The only extra thing I would want from it is a command that checks the
file for any import statements and runs those before it pastes the
command in.

It's very handy, but it's probably not going to be a revelation in the
way you work (or at least not for me).  It's just a quick sanity check
that saves you having to run a terminal in another window, switch to
it, paste in your code, etc.
