Description

In http://www.reinteract.org/trac/ticket/6 Eduardo de Oliveira Padoan said:

A related note: currently, printed and returned values are indistinguishable. When this issue is fixed, one will have no way to say if a value was returned or printed by the called thing.

IPython dont have this problem: 

In [1]: 1+1
Out[1]: 2

In [2]: print 1+1
2

===

Displaying the two types of output in different colors or styles might be a solution. I don't see going to the IPython style, since the natural thing to reference old results in Reinteract is not the cryptic _2, but rather to just go up, edit the line that returned the result and change it to assign it to a properly named variable.
