Well - at least you should update your documentation and tell people why you're using such a workaround.
I'm not sure whether your code is worth a plugin. Eventually a tip on the wiki is equally fine. An alternative could be setting an env var in Vim and making your shell set a background color in the terminal when run from within vim (env var is set) If you wan to add history and the like - then you may want to have a look at additional plugins such as [Conque Shell plugin](http://code.google.com/p/conque) [vimproc plugin](http://github.com/Shougo/vimproc/tree/master/doc/) Then you may have bash history and the like - but no more vi keys. vim-addon-async is yet another simple buffer view of shell commands also implementing a minimal history. github.com/MarcWeber/vim-addon-views is a way to view shell command outputs in vim buffers supporting refreshing by :e! and the like.
