This makes sense, I added ipy_jot.py as such to Extensions.

However, perhaps we should consider making this a bit more transparent
to the user as well. ipy_jot.py could be improved so that it would
create deferred stubs of all the %jot-ted variables to user_ns on
startup, and when the user just enters the variable name it loads up
the value (and shows the notes/etc). This can be done with
IPython.generics.result_display.
