[IPython-user] _ip.magic() instead of ipmagic(); namespaces are a honkin' great idea

[Ville Vainio]

I've now committed a change to trunk/ that should make ipmagic() in
user namespace redundant. The "IPApi" object that exposes IPython
public API (for extensions & configuration) is now available in user
namespace with the name _ip (not to confuse with __IP, use of which is
not recommended).

Here's a sample session:

[~/ipython]|1> cd
[~]|2> !ls /tmp
gconfd-ville      keyring-H8iGp7  orbit-ville
hsperfdata_ville  mapping-ville   ssh-aQkpsB9391
[~]|3> hist
1: _ip.magic("cd ")
2: _ip.system("ls /tmp")
3: _ip.magic("hist ")
[~]|4>

It shouldn't break anything.

Have fun with the new _ip object! Example:

[~]|5> _ip
   <5> <IPython.ipapi.IPApi instance at 0x2aaaac2babd8>
[~]|6> _ip.
_ip.IP            _ip.__module__    _ip.magic         _ip.system
_ip.__class__     _ip.ev            _ip.meta          _ip.user_ns
_ip.__doc__       _ip.ex            _ip.options
_ip.__init__      _ip.expose_magic  _ip.set_hook
[~]|6> o = _ip.options()
[~]|7> o.aut
o.autocall         o.autoedit_syntax  o.autoindent       o.automagic
[~]|7> o.autoedit_syntax = 2
[~]|8>
