Constrained lines

[coatless]

Sometimes we might want to have code like:

my_function = function(x) {
  # Code here
  ...
  ...
  # end code
}

Only the lines between code here and end code should be editable.

The constrained-editor-plugin for monaco editor might help with that, c.f.

@jooyoungseo any issues with accessibility if only portions of the code cell are editable inside Monaco? The main signal for the areas being editable would come from a visual overlay.

@coatless -- Thanks for considering accessibility before introducing new features :) I have tested the playground, and have not found any accessibility issues. Works nicely with screen readers!

@jooyoungseo thanks for the quick turn around on checking out the option :) I'll work toward incorporate it.
