Doc string of python-command contains this: "Note that IPython may not
work properly; it must at least be used with the `-cl' flag, i.e. use
`ipython -cl'." I do not know if python-mode really works with
IronPython, but if we are advising people to include flags in
python-command, we probably should not be quoting it.
