Sounds like a great idea! @ihrke would you be willing to review/merge a PR?
@ihrke +1 for all of these ideas, + filename extension parsing as well and fallback to cell-wise/global option.

It's true that comparing the base64-encoded plots would not be very robust. Maybe at first we could just compare text output? WDYM exactly by inserting assert/throw errors?
OK I see. That's a possibility indeed. Maybe it would be worth encapsulating the code in cell 2 in some private testing function like `_test_cached_var('./test.pkl', 'a')` or something. Also, I...

Why not just putting this doctest code in the next cell? We say that the test fails if an assertion is raised during the notebook execution, otherwise it passes.

Hi Michael, It looks interesting and doable. I think it would be better to implement that in a new cell magic like `%%globalcache` or any better name. It would be...
