Thanks Kyle, and sorry for missing that recent related thread.

I adapted your old patch to the current master branch. I also extended it
to work for ":results value" (the original patch only worked for ":results
output"). I did this by not writing the last line of the code block to the
tmpfile, unless it is indented.

I've never contributed before so would appreciate any comments on this
patch, and how to get it accepted. Cheers, Jack.
