Move object inspection machinery out of the magics code....
Move object inspection machinery out of the magics code. Later we'll put this into a standalone object, but the least intrusive change for now is to put it in the main interactive shell object. At least now it's not embedded in the magics code, and we can start using this programatically via the messaging api.

Return from an iterable, a list of all the unique elements in the input,

A naive solution to this problem which just makes a dictionary with the
elements as keys fails to respect the stability condition, since
dictionaries are unsorted by nature.

routine to work, as it internally uses a dictionary for efficiency
reasons."""
