I don't think so. Let's say I try to evaluate the following
expression:

(define (add a b)
  (+ a
     b))

If I place the cursor at the "(define (add a b)" line,
inverior-scheme will never hang.

However, if I place it at the "  (+ a" line, or the
"    b))" line, it might.

And it also seem like a hash needs to be placed on
the line after:

(define (add a b)
  (+ a
     b))
