Do not capture BdbQuit.

If one want to exit Pdb cleanly, it is possible to just use `continue`
(or `c`) that will keep up until a potential next invocation.

Quit is _meant_ to raise an error.

 Pdb debugger class.
 
 Modified from the standard pdb.Pdb class to avoid including readline, so that
 the command line completion of other programs which include this isn't
 damaged.
 
 In the future, this class will be expanded with improvements over the standard
 pdb.
 
 The code in this file is mainly lifted out of cmd.py in Python 2.2, with minor
 changes. Licensing should therefore be under the standard Python terms.  For

     Class for local debugging, similar to pdb.set_trace.

     providing IPython's enhanced capabilities.
 
     This is implemented as a class which must be initialized in your own code
     and not as a standalone function because we need to detect at runtime
     whether IPython is already active or not.  That detection is done in the
     constructor, ensuring that this code plays nicely with a running IPython,
     while functioning acceptably (though with limitations) if outside of it.

 True Color feature
 ------------------
 
 ``prompt_toolkit`` uses pygments styles for syntax highlighting. By default, the
 colors specified in the style are approximated using a standard 256-color
 palette. ``prompt_toolkit`` also supports 24bit, a.k.a. "true", a.k.a. 16-million
 color escape sequences which enable compatible terminals to display the exact
 colors specified instead of an approximation. This true_color option exposes
 that capability in prompt_toolkit to the IPython shell.
 
 Here is a good source for the current state of true color support in various
 terminal emulators and software projects: https://gist.github.com/XVilka/8346728
 
 
 
 IPython 5.0
 ===========
 
 Released July 7, 2016
 
 New terminal interface
 ----------------------
 
 IPython 5 features a major upgrade to the terminal interface, bringing live
 syntax highlighting as you type, proper multiline editing and multiline paste,
 and tab completions that don't clutter up your history.
 
 .. image:: ../_images/ptshell_features.png
     :alt: New terminal interface features
     :align: center
     :target: ../_images/ptshell_features.png
 
 These features are provided by the Python library `prompt_toolkit
 <http://python-prompt-toolkit.readthedocs.io/en/stable/>`__, which replaces
 ``readline`` throughout our terminal interface.
 
 Relying on this pure-Python, cross platform module also makes it simpler to
 install IPython. We have removed dependencies on ``pyreadline`` for Windows and
 ``gnureadline`` for Mac.
 
 Backwards incompatible changes
 ------------------------------
 
 - The ``%install_ext`` magic function, deprecated since 4.0, has now been deleted.
   You can distribute and install extensions as packages on PyPI.
 - Callbacks registered while an event is being handled will now only be called
   for subsequent events; previously they could be called for the current event.
   Similarly, callbacks removed while handling an event *will* always get that
   event. See :ghissue:`9447` and :ghpull:`9453`.
 - Integration with pydb has been removed since pydb development has been stopped
   since 2012, and pydb is not installable from PyPI.
 - The ``autoedit_syntax`` option has apparently been broken for many years.
   It has been removed.
 
 New terminal interface
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
 The overhaul of the terminal interface will probably cause a range of minor
 issues for existing users.
 This is inevitable for such a significant change, and we've done our best to
 minimise these issues.
 Some changes that we're aware of, with suggestions on how to handle them:
 
 IPython no longer uses readline configuration (``~/.inputrc``). We hope that
 the functionality you want (e.g. vi input mode) will be available by configuring
 IPython directly (see :doc:`/config/options/terminal`).
 If something's missing, please file an issue.
 
 The ``PromptManager`` class has been removed, and the prompt machinery simplified.
 See :ref:`custom_prompts` to customise prompts with the new machinery.
 
 :mod:`IPython.core.debugger` now provides a plainer interface.
 :mod:`IPython.terminal.debugger` contains the terminal debugger using
 prompt_toolkit.
 
 There are new options to configure the colours used in syntax highlighting.
 We have tried to integrate them with our classic  ``--colors`` option and
 ``%colors`` magic, but there's a mismatch in possibilities, so some configurations
 may produce unexpected results. See :ref:`termcolour` for more information.
 
 The new interface is not compatible with Emacs 'inferior-shell' feature. To
 continue using this, add the ``--simple-prompt`` flag to the command Emacs
 runs. This flag disables most IPython features, relying on Emacs to provide
 things like tab completion.
 
 Provisional Changes
 -------------------
 
 Provisional changes are experimental functionality that may, or may not, make
 it into a future version of IPython, and which API may change without warnings.
 Activating these features and using these API are at your own risk, and may have
 security implication for your system, especially if used with the Jupyter notebook,
 
 When running via the Jupyter notebook interfaces, or other compatible client,
 you can enable rich documentation experimental functionality:
 
 When the ``docrepr`` package is installed setting the boolean flag
 ``InteractiveShell.sphinxify_docstring`` to ``True``, will process the various
 object through sphinx before displaying them (see the ``docrepr`` package
 documentation for more information.
 
 You need to also enable the IPython pager display rich HTML representation
 using the ``InteractiveShell.enable_html_pager`` boolean configuration option.
 As usual you can set these configuration options globally in your configuration
 files, alternatively you can turn them on dynamically using the following
 snippet:
 
 .. code-block:: python
 
     ip = get_ipython()
     ip.sphinxify_docstring = True
     ip.enable_html_pager = True
 
 
 You can test the effect of various combinations of the above configuration in
 the Jupyter notebook, with things example like :
 
 .. code-block:: ipython
 
     import numpy as np
     np.histogram?
 
 
 This is part of an effort to make Documentation in Python richer and provide in
 the long term if possible dynamic examples that can contain math, images,
 widgets... As stated above this is nightly experimental feature with a lot of
 (fun) problem to solve. We would be happy to get your feedback and expertise on
 it.
 
 
 
 Deprecated Features
 -------------------
 
 Some deprecated features are listed in this section. Don't forget to enable
 ``DeprecationWarning`` as an error if you are using IPython in a Continuous
 Integration setup or in your testing in general:
 
 .. code-block:: python
 
     import warnings
     warnings.filterwarnings('error', '.*', DeprecationWarning, module='yourmodule.*')
 
 
 - ``hooks.fix_error_editor`` seems unused and is pending deprecation.
 - `IPython/core/excolors.py:ExceptionColors` is  deprecated.
 - `IPython.core.InteractiveShell:write()` is deprecated; use `sys.stdout` instead.
 - `IPython.core.InteractiveShell:write_err()` is deprecated; use `sys.stderr` instead.
 - The `formatter` keyword argument to `Inspector.info` in `IPython.core.oinspec` has no effect.
 - The `global_ns` keyword argument of IPython Embed was deprecated, and has no effect. Use `module` keyword argument instead.
 
 
 Known Issues:
 -------------
 
 - ``<Esc>`` Key does not dismiss the completer and does not clear the current
   buffer. This is an on purpose modification due to current technical
   limitation. Cf :ghpull:`9572`. Escape the control character which is used
   for other shortcut, and there is no practical way to distinguish. Use Ctr-G
   or Ctrl-C as an alternative.
 
 - Cannot use ``Shift-Enter`` and ``Ctrl-Enter`` to submit code in terminal. cf
   :ghissue:`9587` and :ghissue:`9401`. In terminal there is no practical way to
   distinguish these key sequences from a normal new line return.
 
 - ``PageUp`` and ``pageDown`` do not move through completion menu.
 
 - Color styles might not adapt to terminal emulator themes. This will need new
   version of Pygments to be released, and can be mitigated with custom themes.
