  %sx command
  
  IPython will run the given command using commands.getoutput(), and
  return the result formatted as a list (split on '\n').  Since the
  output is _returned_, it will be stored in ipython's regular output
  cache Out[N] and in the '_N' automatic variables.
  
  Notes:
  
  1) If an input line begins with '!!', then %sx is automatically
  invoked.  That is, while::
  
    !ls
  
  causes ipython to simply issue system('ls'), typing::
  
    !!ls
  
  is a shorthand equivalent to::
  
    %sx ls
  
  2) %sx differs from %sc in that %sx automatically splits into a list,
  like '%sc -l'.  The reason for this is to make it as easy as possible
  to process line-oriented shell output via further python commands.
  %sc is meant to provide much finer control, but requires more
  typing.
  
  3) Just like %sc -l, this is a list with special attributes:
  ::
  
    .l (or .list) : value as list.
    .n (or .nlstr): value as newline-separated string.
    .s (or .spstr): value as whitespace-separated string.
  
  This is very useful when trying to use such lists as arguments to
  system commands.
