From the user perspective it would be exactly equivalent to:

from IPython.Shell import IPShellEmbed; IPShellEmbed()()

Sure, I can move it whenever is the best and sure I can wait for 0.11. Are you ok with me adding a stub into the __init__.py, so that this can be invoked just by:

import IPython; IPython.embed()
