Clarification Needed: Unused ip Parameter in load_ipython_extension Method

[Lucifer516-sudo]

Hello,

I hope this message finds you well. I've been exploring the source code of the rich module and noticed an interesting detail in the load_ipython_extension method. In the current implementation, it appears that the ip parameter is not being utilized within the method's code.

Here's the relevant portion of the code:

def load_ipython_extension(ip):
    # Method code here...
    # The `ip` parameter does not seem to be used.
    pass

I'm curious about the intention behind including the ip parameter and whether there might be any future plans to utilize it. If not, is there a specific reason it was included?

I would appreciate any insights you could provide on this matter. Thank you for your time and contributions to the rich module!

Best regards,
Harish. V
