    """Lightweight persistence for python variables.

    Example:

    ville@badger[~]|1> A = ['hello',10,'world']\\
    ville@badger[~]|2> %store A\\
    ville@badger[~]|3> Exit

    (IPython session is closed and started again...)

    ville@badger:~$ ipython -p pysh\\
    ville@badger[~]|1> print A

    ['hello', 10, 'world']

    Usage:

    %store          - Show list of all variables and their current values\\
    %store <var>    - Store the *current* value of the variable to disk\\
    %store -d <var> - Remove the variable and its value from storage\\
    %store -z       - Remove all variables from storage\\
    %store -r       - Refresh all variables from store (delete current vals)\\
    %store foo >a.txt  - Store value of foo to new file a.txt\\
    %store foo >>a.txt - Append value of foo to file a.txt\\

    It should be noted that if you change the value of a variable, you
    need to %store it again if you want to persist the new value.

    Note also that the variables will need to be pickleable; most basic
    python types can be safely %stored.

    Also aliases can be %store'd across sessions.
