performance of nitime. For example, some parts of nitime leverage and import
matplotlib, which is quite a big package, yet most of the nitime code does not
depend on matplotlib. By lazily-loading a module, we defer the overhead of
importing it until the first time it is actually used, thereby speeding up
nitime imports.
A generic :class:`LazyImport` class is implemented which takes the module name
as a parameter, and acts as a proxy for that module, importing it only when
the module is used, but effectively acting as the module in every other way
(including inside IPython with respect to introspection and tab completion)
with the *exception* of reload() - reloading a :class:`LazyImport` raises an
:class:`ImportError`.
Commonly used nitime lazy imports are also defined in :mod:`nitime.lazy`, so
they can be reused throughout nitime.

# nitime, importing nitime will import this module.

in IPython.
