 The deferred_pprinters dictionary is the preferred way to configure these
 pretty-printers. This allows you to define the pretty-printer without needing to
 import the type itself. The dictionary maps (modulename, typename) pairs to
 a function.
 
 See the `IPython.external.pretty` documentation for how to write
 pretty-printer functions.
