jupyter-inspect-at-point doesn't work for Julia macros #343

Description

@ngharrison

I often use jupyter-inspect-at-point to get help for methods and types I'm using in Julia. This fails when I try to do the same for macros (e.g. @time). If the cursor is on the name part, it looks up just the name as a function or type (e.g. time). If the cursor is on the @, then it responds with "Nothing found for nil". Selecting a region has no effect on what it searches for, just where the cursor is.

Note that if I use the help command (?) in the repl, it shows what the documentation should be.
