Update docstring for InputSplitter.

 """Analysis of text input into executable blocks.
 
 The main class in this module, :class:`InputSplitter`, is designed to break
 input from either interactive, line-by-line environments or block-based ones,
 into standalone blocks that can be executed by Python as 'single' statements
 (thus triggering sys.displayhook).
 
 A companion, :class:`IPythonInputSplitter`, provides the same functionality but
 with full support for the extended IPython syntax (magics, system calls, etc).
 
 For more details, see the class docstring below.
 
 Syntax Transformations
 ----------------------
 
 One of the main jobs of the code in this file is to apply all syntax
 transformations that make up 'the IPython language', i.e. magics, shell
 escapes, etc.  All transformations should be implemented as *fully stateless*
 entities, that simply take one line as their input and return a line.
 Internally for implementation purposes they may be a normal function or a
 callable object, but the only input they receive will be a single line and they
 should only return a line, without holding any data-dependent state between
 calls.
 
 As an example, the EscapedTransformer is a class so we can more clearly group
 together the functionality of dispatching to individual functions based on the
 starting escape character, but the only method for public use is its call
 method.
 
 
 ToDo
 ----
 
 - Should we make push() actually raise an exception once push_accepts_more()
   returns False?
 
 - Naming cleanups.  The tr_* names aren't the most elegant, though now they are
   at least just attributes of a class so not really very exposed.
 
 - Think about the best way to support dynamic things: automagic, autocall,
   macros, etc.
 
 - Think of a better heuristic for the application of the transforms in
   IPythonInputSplitter.push() than looking at the buffer ending in ':'.  Idea:
   track indentation change events (indent, dedent, nothing) and apply them only
   if the indentation went up, but not otherwise.
 
 - Think of the cleanest way for supporting user-specified transformations (the
   user prefilters we had before).
