         definitions. '>' and '+' characters at the beginning of a line are

         later editing with '%edit pasted_block'.

         This assigns the pasted block to variable 'foo' as string, without
         dedenting or executing it (preceding >>> and + is still stripped)
 
         '%cpaste -r' re-executes the block previously entered by cpaste.
         '%cpaste -q' suppresses any additional output messages.
 
         Do not be alarmed by garbled output on Windows (it's a readline bug).
         Just press enter and type -- (and press enter again) and the block
         will be what was just pasted.
