Thanks, I was able to repro it, I was typing on the list line where it seems
to work fine before :)  

There's a few interesting things going on here - I'm going to increase the
delay before we report errors (currently 300ms, going to move it up to 1 
sec).  That should help with the red squiggles.  

I'm no longer getting the completions in the string due to another change
and I'll need to make some changes to the Ipy parser to fix the string
not showing up as a literal.

I've got this fixed.  There's still a bunch more to do here related to
looking at types and dealing w/ params and keyword arguments though.
