Support for cell separators '#%%' #340
Description
Summary
I'm used to dividing up my Python source files into cells, divided by separators #%%. These usually render nicely in common IDEs, like Spyder and VSCode. At the moment, cell separators are not highlighted by language-atom. I'm wondering would it make sense to add them?
Motivation
Cell separators give visual cues for better navigation of your source files, making editing just ever so slightly nicer.
Describe alternatives you've considered
An alternative for providing cell support would be installing a fully-fledged IDE on top of Atom, like Hydrogen. That solution brings lot's of overhead, if you only want to add cell highlighting.
Additional context

what do you suggest to render for such separator? horizontal line above/below the separator?

Hey @Alexey-T! Yes, that would be the most logical thing IMO (horizontal line above,) and it would be canonical to what I've seen in IDEs!

I’ve never seen that before. Cool idea but I think some init script hacking might just do the trick.

A-ha! That's something I haven't considered. Also wouldn't know what
init script hackingwould mean in this case, but I'll memorize that!ThatXliner commentedon Jun 30, 2022
