Re: Python variables obscur ipdb commands

I created issue here: https://github.com/ipython/ipython/issues/10037
I also think it would be best if ipdb commands were working reliably all
the time. (in all other cases, when python variable is not ipdb command at
the same time, we should be able to display it without '!')
