Point taken, but the magics already behave in a shell-like way, so I don't
think it's much of a leap.

Perhaps a generic redirect magic would more clearly identify what is
happening. This would also be a nice way of dumping Python output to file
or stdout.

E.g., it might be easier to have

%%pipe /tmp/log
print '''
Whatever you want in the file
'''
