I'd like to hold off on merging this until we see how
https://github.com/ipython/ipython/pull/5226 is resolved. It looks like
IPython executes `PYTHONSTARTUP` for non-interactive shells, too, which is
different from the [behavior in the regular Python
interpreter](http://docs.python.org/2/tutorial/interpreter.html#the-interactive-startup-file).
If IPython decides to adopt Python's default `PYTHONSTARTUP` behavior, then I
think we'd want to implement a different fix.
