Description
This is a proposal for something I can implement, but wanted to get some feedback first.
Basically, I find the IPython magic incredibly convenient to pass values back-and-forth between Julia/Python. It'd be nice to have something that works in scripts too. I propose having the function `jl` which takes in a string and executes it just like the IPython magics do. The choice of `jl` is to have a nice symmetry between Julia where you do,
`py" ...Python code... "`
and Python where you'd do,
`jl(" ...Julia code... ")`
The behavior with regards to scope / interpolation / etc would be identical to the Julia magic. Any thoughts?
