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

    ville@badger:~$ ipython -p pysh\\
    ville@badger[~]|1> print A
    
    ['hello', 10, 'world']
    
    Usage:
    
    %jot          - Show list of all variables and their current values\\
    %jot -l       - Show list of all variables and their current values in detail\\
    %jot -l <var> - Show one variable and its current values in detail\\
    %jot <var>    - Store the *current* value of the variable to disk\\
    %jot -d <var> - Remove the variable and its value from storage\\
    %jot -z       - Remove all variables from storage (disabled)\\
    %jot -r <var> - Refresh/Load variable from jot (delete current vals)\\
    %jot foo >a.txt  - Store value of foo to new file a.txt\\
    %jot 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 %note 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.
