Feel free to play with implementing this, it's easy to do so on your
personal setup, since input prefilter can be trivially added by any
user.  Once you find a set of tools that you're happy with, just send
them my way and we'll include them officially.

Here's some links you may find useful:

http://ipython.scipy.org/doc/manual/node11.html

the code for these extensions ships already with ipython, under
IPython/Extensions.

Look at the one for quantities with units, it's a good starting point
for what you want to do.
