Description
I often reuse the same custom functions when I work in Open Refine with Jython. I ended up storing them all in a module, which I call if necessary. But it's not very user friendly.
As you can see, three lines of boilerplates are needed for an oneliner. Would not it be a good idea to allow users to store their own Jython functions in a more flexible way? In this way, it would even be possible to share them between users! :)

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reviewing the existing expression and Jython workflow, then define how stored community functions would be created, searched, shared, and used; done means users can manage and reuse these functions without the described boilerplate.
