I would expect magic commands to work a little differently in the jupyter
gui than on the command line, so the possibility for an error doesn't
surprise me too much. It can probably be fixed. However, a straight-up
"attach('<file here>')" would hopefully work? It still needs to hook into
the REPL to actually check for a changed file and do the reloading, but
that has a better chance of being the same between the IPython CLI shell
and the Jupyter notebook.
