 """
 Shim to maintain backwards compatibility with old frontend imports.
 
 We have moved all contents of the old `frontend` subpackage into top-level
 subpackages (`html`, `qt` and `terminal`).  
 
 This will let code that was making `from IPython.frontend...` calls continue
 working, though a warning will be printed.
