Moving extensions to either quarantine or deathrow....
Moving extensions to either quarantine or deathrow. When a module is moved to quarantine, it means that while we intend to keep it, it is currently broken or sufficiently untested that it can't be in the main IPython codebase. To be moved back into the main IPython codebase a module must: 1. Work fully. 2. Have a test suite. 3. Be a proper IPython extension and tie into the official APIs. 3. Have members of the IPython dev team who are willing to maintain it. When a module is moved to deathrow, it means that the code is either broken and not worth repairing, deprecated, replaced by newer functionality, or code that should be developed and maintained by a third party.

""" Greedy completer extension for IPython
Normal tab completer refuses to evaluate nonsafe stuff. This will evaluate
everything, so you need to consider the consequences of pressing tab
yourself!
Note that this extension simplifies readline interaction by setting
only whitespace as completer delimiter. If this works well, we will
do the same in default completer.

MONKEYPATCHED VERSION (ipy_greedycompleter.py)
Assuming the text is of the form NAME.NAME....[NAME], and is
evaluatable in self.namespace or self.global_namespace, it will be
evaluated and its attributes (as revealed by dir()) are used as
possible completions. (For class instances, class members are are
also considered.)
WARNING: this can still invoke arbitrary C code, if an object
with a __getattr__ hook is evaluated.
