​This^ would go in the IPython config file.*​*

​When you're creating a fullscreen app with PT, do you still call `prompt`?
The point really: Do you call a method that accepts the same config args as
`prompt`? Could you add another option to the config file that requires a
dict, where the keys are `prompt` keyword args, and then just `**kargs` it
into the `prompt` call inside IPython?

You'd still maybe want IPython APIs for PT stuff people want to do more
often, but at least users would always have raw access the much more of the
library.
