I think the embedded IPython ignores your config - which is an even
more complex argument. Let's not go there today.

I think I agree that embedded IPython should inherit future flags from
the module it's called in. I'm not going to have time to work on it
for a bit, though. If anyone else wants to pick it up, I think new
code will be needed in this method:
https://github.com/ipython/ipython/blob/master/IPython/frontend/terminal/embed.py#L164

Otherwise, Joon, please file an issue so we don't forget about it.

Thanks,
Thomas
