%store magic for lightweight persistence.
Stores variables, aliases and macros in IPython's database.
To automatically restore stored variables at startup, add this to your

Example::
In [1]: l = ['hello',10,'world']
In [2]: %store l
In [3]: exit
(IPython session is closed and started again...)
ville@badger:~$ ipython
In [1]: l
NameError: name 'l' is not defined
In [2]: %store -r
In [3]: l
Out[3]: ['hello', 10, 'world']
Usage:
* ``%store`` - Show list of all variables and their current
values
* ``%store spam`` - Store the *current* value of the variable spam
to disk
* ``%store -d spam`` - Remove the variable and its value from storage
* ``%store -z`` - Remove all variables from storage
* ``%store -r`` - Refresh all variables from store (overwrite
current vals)
* ``%store -r spam bar`` - Refresh specified variables from store
(delete current val)
* ``%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 %store'd.
Also aliases can be %store'd across sessions.
