When working on a longish script, its common to have chunks that need to
be executed frequently. For example, a computation you are working on that
spans multiple lines, or a plot that you are trying to get just right.
When using an IPython notebook, you would put these chunks in cells.
MATLAB has a similar idea, where %% markers deliminate cells, which can
be executed with a single key press.
With this PR, you can define cells like this:
print('Performing computation')
a = 1 + 2
b = a ** a
## Begin new cell
print('Result of computation:')
print(b)
Now you can execute the two cells independently by moving the cursor into a cell and pressing <Ctrl>+Enter.
