"""
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`), and flattened the notebook into
just `IPython.html`, formerly `IPython.frontend.html.notebook`.
This will let code that was making `from IPython.frontend...` calls continue
working, though a warning will be printed.
