Yeah, but I never missed these features, so I did not bother ;)

Vip has (like Vim) 26 markable buffers (registers a - z, but in fact you can use
any other character and thus have a lot more). Currently there is no eval for a
region, but would be simple to implement. I can't say much about such features,
as they are not my style of work.
For example, put this into your .pil/viprc file:
(de *F9 # Eval lines till mark
(evCmd
(run (str (getText (jmpMark (getch) NIL 1)))) ) )
Mark the end of your desired region with
m<c>
Then go to the start of the region and type
F9<c>
(the register <c> can be a - z (or any character)).
This F9 behavior is analog to all the other editing commands like !, >, <, c, d
and y (shell, shifts, copy, delete and yank).
