Option to automatically save newly created variables in the cell

[rossant]

%%cache [file] --autovars automatically detects the variables that have been created in the cell, by looking at the namespace dictionaries before and after the cell's execution.

[herrlich10]

What if the user really don't want to cache any variable (e.g., because they are too large in memory and are useless in the subsequent cells) except for the rich output?

[rossant]

@herrlich10 good point. I've updated the issue. Not sure about the option name: any suggestion?

[herrlich10]

Do you mean --autovars? I think its fine. What about --infer, maybe not specific enough?

[mpelko]

How about --all?

It may mean "all variables in the namespace" whereas I rather mean "all new variables in the cell. That being said we could have "--all" for all variables, and something else for the variables that have just been created.

Fair point, --allnew would then sound most intuitive to me (as in @@cache
--allnew).
