     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.
