;;; Commentary:

;; These functions build on comint to ease the sending and receiving
;; of commands and results from comint buffers.
;;
;; Note that the buffers in this file are analogous to sessions in
;; org-babel at large.

;;; Code:
(require 'org-babel)
(require 'comint)

(defun org-babel-comint-buffer-livep (buffer)
  (and (buffer-live-p buffer) (get-buffer buffer) (get-buffer-process buffer)))

(defmacro org-babel-comint-in-buffer (buffer &rest body)
  "Check BUFFER with `org-babel-comint-buffer-livep' then execute
body inside the protection of `save-window-excursion' and
`save-match-data'."
  (declare (indent 1))
  `(save-window-excursion
     (save-match-data
