We have a plan then.

My pleasure.  Please rebase your patches once 0.8.0 is out and feel
free to send them my way.

Regarding

http://projects.scipy.org/ipython/ipython/ticket/52

I just applied this to my local tree:

Index: test_prefilter.py

     ( 'thing?',    handle_help ),  # '?' can trail...
     ( 'thing!',    handle_normal), # but only '?' can trail
-    ( '!thing?',   handle_help),   # trailing '?' wins if more than one
+    ( '!thing?',   handle_shell_escape),   # trailing '?' wins if more than one
     ( '   ?thing', handle_help),   # ignore leading whitespace
     ( '!ls',       handle_shell_escape ),
     ( '%magic',    handle_magic),


I think that's the correct test in light of Stefan's patches and the
behavior we want, no?

I'll commit later with a few other minor thingies.

Cheers,
