User's heads will already explode with the ability to change kernels
on the fly for an entire notebook. Allowing that for individual cells
would lead to a further explosion of UI complexity and cognitive load.
Obviously, anyone is free to build such a beast, but I can't imagine
that ever being within scope for IPython itself.
