Pkg no GUI?

[fonsp]

OUTDATED: see #844 instead

Adventure to build a GUI for Pkg into Pluto - #142.

• It will be based on autocomplete: if you do nothing, a reproducible, self-contained package environment will be set up
• The GUI will be inline with the using or import statement: the Pkg command and import command are fused. The GUI appears as you type (try it out!), and you can ignore it and all is well
• "Project.toml" but with support for git and local path
• Info will be stored in the notebook file's preamble (the stuff before the 1st cell). Exactly how this is stored is not super important, but let's talk about this later

Very work-in-progress, just a place to post updates.

TODO

• GUI
• Disable when you Pkg.activate
• Conversion tool for notebooks
• Actually use these versions
• Store in file
• Detect when notebook restart is needed and do it

there's something magical about those codemirror widgets

Maybe the notebook.assets folder from #707 could be used to store the Project and Manifest.toml files?

Hi I would like to re-iterate here my idea to use inline toml directly in the notebook, also for more options in the cell descriptors: https://www.notion.so/Pluto-jl-a9982e79b7bb4c658e6216c15a9d4cab?p=61749c09aa1b450fa79f025d725bef4c
