Thanks Fernando. That is a much better solution.

Note that you can do this at runtime without having to hack the code:

ip = get_ipython()
ip.Completer.matchers.remove(ip.Completer.magic_matches)

You can put this into the profile for your users, enabling you to do
this customization while being able to update ipython normally.
Carrying a modified code is always a higher maintenance burden.
