Horrible hacks for Julia-IPython integration

Screenshots

The full notebook for the screenshot below can be found here.

Features

• Julia's Multimedia I/O hooked into IPython's display system
• Code completion inside Julia magic (by monkey-patching IPython)
• @async works in Jupyter (Julia's event loop is integrated to ipykernel's asyncio event loop)
• print works in Jupyter (Julia's standard streams are integrated to ipykernel's I/O)
• Syntax highlighting works in %%julia magic of ipython CLI (but not in Jupyter)
• Copy-free access to Julia objects from Python

Those are build on top of the great libraries PyCall.jl and PyJulia. (It would be nice to merge some features to PyJulia at some point. But I wanted to do some experiments on Python interface for handling Julia objects.)
