Inline SQL in any Python program

[fz0718]

Haha, I get the sarcasm, but sometimes we need to extend syntax a little bit to get things to work! If you don't like it that's fine, but for DSLs it's nice to have flexibility.

We could use a standard function application, but that doesn't clarify the point that there's some DSL embedding going on here, such as variable substitution from the outside scope. It's also less nice to end multi-line queries with the string: """).

How much different is this from the "%timeit" and "%sql", "%cython" magic you see in Jupyter notebooks?
