[IPython-dev] Should we disable autocall by default from now on?

I've done this in my autocall-safe branch, if anyone wants to test it:
https://github.com/takluyver/ipython/tree/autocall-safe

Turning autocall up to 2 will still inspect attributes, but that's not the
default.

If we're happy with this behaviour, I'll update docs and so forth.
