disallow no-prefix `ipython foo=bar` argument style....
disallow no-prefix `ipython foo=bar` argument style. This style is in rc1, but will be removed in rc2. Since they don't match any flag pattern, rc1-style arguments will be interpreted by IPython as files to be run. So `ipython gui=foo -i` will exec gui=foo, and pass '-i' to gui=foo. Presumably this file won't exist, so there will be an error: Error in executing file in user namespace: gui=foo Assignments *must* have two leading '-', as in: ipython --foo=bar all flags (non-assignments) can be specified with one or two leading '-', as in: ipython -i --pylab -pdb --pprint script.py or ipython --i -pylab --pdb -pprint script.py but help only reports two-leading, as single-leading options will likely be removed on moving to argparse, where they will be replaced by single-letter aliases. The common remaining invalid option will be: ipython -foo=bar and a suggestion for 'did you mean --foo=bar'? will be presented in these cases.

For full details, see the installation section of the manual. The basic parts
of IPython only need the Python standard library, but much of its more advanced
functionality requires extra packages.
