I wrote an Ipython0 extension implementing %lookfor, and filed it in the
ticket http://ipython.scipy.org/ipython/ipython/ticket/245 so that I
don't forget about it. (Download the file, and import ipy_lookfor.py to
get a magic %lookfor command.)

It's a bit rough right now, but I don't have time to finish it today.
