I've added a cell mode like Matlab has, where %% marks delimit cells, which can be executed one by one. In Python, the marker is # <codecell> to be compatible with IPython notebook cells. You can now do stuff like:

# <codecell> Preprocessing

filter()
another-filter()

# <codecell> Plot it!

plot(data)
...

And execute cells one by one by moving the cursor inside and pressing Ctrl-Alt-S

The IPython API is ever moving and the newest version again breaks
vim-ipython. This PR adds some try/catch blocks to deal with the API
changes.
When working on a longish script, its common to have chunks that need to
be executed frequently. For example, a computation you are working on that
spans multiple lines, or a plot that you are trying to get just right.
When using an IPython notebook, you would put these chunks in cells.
MATLAB has a similar idea, where %% markers deliminate cells, which can
be executed with a single key press.

With this PR, you can define cells like this:

    print('Performing computation')
    a = 1 + 2
    b = a ** a

    ## Begin new cell

    print('Result of computation:')
    print(b)

Now you can execute the two cells independently.

closing in favor of #127 .

Whether folding is performed by default is controlled through the
`g:ipy_cell_folding` variable.
In addition, the `<Plug>(IPython-EnableFoldByCell)` hook is available to toggle cell
folding.
This PR allows the user to configure some aspects of vim-ipython through
the usage of `g:ipy_*` globals.
