[IPython-dev] Feature request/how?

[Charles Moad]

	Thanks for the pointer.  I am still fuzzy on how I would create a magic 
function using this, since I need to run the parameter_s arg of the 
magic function in the current context.  timing/timings takes the 
actually function and args, not a string.

Thanks,
