Comment (by pv):

 Ok, I finally found time (= enough motivation :) to work on this.
 Autoreloading implemented as an extension:
   - It reloads modules only before executing code typed on the IPython
 prompt.
   - Behavior is controlled by %autoreload and %aimport
   - Either no modules, only marked modules, or all modules except skipped
 ones are reloaded, depending on %autoreload mode.

 I didn't find a suitable hook for executing the reload before running
 code, so instead of set_hook, I resorted to monkey-patching
 InteractiveShell.
