Merging in ipython-ipython1b branch. This branch was used to merge in the docs from ipython1-dev, as well as the stuff from the ipython1-sconfig branch. In addition to simply merging the docs from ipython1-dev, I have completely reorganized the docs to make the easier to read and write.

''' 'Generic' functions for extending IPython.
See http://cheeseshop.python.org/pypi/simplegeneric.
Here is an example from genutils.py:
def print_lsstring(arg):
"Prettier (non-repr-like) and more informative printer for LSString"
print "LSString (.p, .n, .l, .s available). Value:"
print arg
print_lsstring = result_display.when_type(LSString)(print_lsstring)
(Yes, the nasty syntax is for python 2.3 compatibility. Your own extensions
can use the niftier decorator syntax introduced in Python 2.4).
