CAVEAT: this method still does not work universally yet.
We need to execute some of the statements in the global (top level)
namespace, not in this function's namespace.
So in general init_interactive *MUST* at this point be called from the
main program, not from any subroutine.
Otherwise, you must explicitly specify the global namespace as the
`global_ns` argument.
Works under ipython, `python -i' and vanilla python.
