implement filter argument to arrays() and friends #865

So that we can have code like this:

arrays(['arr1', 'arr2']).save('fpath.h5')

instead of:

arrays()['arr1', 'arr2'].save('fpath.h5')

This a request by one of our users?

Whatever the answer is, I'm OK with this issue. I'm curious.

yes indeed 😄 Johan wants an easier way to save a few variables from the local scope to a file.

Session(arr1=arr1, arr2=arr2) is indeed a bit cumbersome when you have many, so the best I could come up with is: arrays()['arr1', 'arr2'].save('path.h5') but a filter while creating the session would be a bit more elegant.
