I find the various commands to evaluate code from a file confusing (and not 
really documented). When was the English language changed so that "load" 
implies evaluation? Also, changing the way IPython works is only going to 
confuse me more, not less. 

IMHO we should have

%load     # as provided by ipython
%run       # evaluate file content, preparsed depending on the file 
extension
%attach  # like run, but watch for changes

Also:

* No new statements, i.e. no "load" without percent sign is not allowed. 
* But do support them as global functions load('filename.py'). 
* No %runfile. Whats the difference with %run?
