[IPython-user] save: do not overwerite file but append

[Sebastian Fey]

hi,

i just want a %save that appends to a file instead of overwriting it.
(btw: it would also be nice to have a command with the same syntax as 
save to copy parts of the history to the clipboard)

heres an example of what id like to have:

In [1]: def foo():
   ...:     pass

In [2]: def bar():
   ...:     pass

In [3]: foo()
In [4]: bar()
In [5]: %hist
1:
def foo():
    pass
2:
def bar():
    pass
3: foo()
4: bar()

In [7]: save s.py 1-2
The following commands were written to file `s.py`:
def foo():
    pass
def bar():
    pass

In [8]: save s.py 3 -append
The following commands were written to file `s.py`:
foo()

In [9]: save s.py 4
The following commands were written to file `s.py`:
bar()

results in s.py:

def foo():
    pass
def bar():
    pass
foo()
bar()
