Thank you, madman.  Now, please get on your meds again before you do
something truly dangerous :)

Should mention that the --pylab flag is only needed if you want plots,
otherwise you get a 'normal' ipython.  And you can also choose not to
use the inline option, then you get regular floating-window figures,
which you can still 'paste' into the notebook with

display(gcf())

for one, or

display(*getfigs())

for all of them.  See the dosctrings for display and getfigs for details.
