By the way, we're trying to move away from the
global _loaded
pattern. New versions of IPython will track whether the extension is already loaded, so the extension itself doesn't need to. In current versions, setting the formatter more than once will make no difference, so there's no need to guard against it happening several times.The aim of this is to reduce global state, so that we can one day have more than one IPython instance in a process.
