This patch touches a lot of files in a trivial automatic way. They main
point is it changes the _magma_init_ signature from
_magma_init_(self)
to
_magma_init_(self, magma)
where magma is a magma interface. Also, it introduces some caching for
the magma interface itself. This means that _magma_init_ has access to
and can impact the full state of the magma interpreter. This makes
creating a string representation of an element valid for that interpreter
dramatically more powerful and flexible, is conceptually very easy to
understand, and works. The caching helps mediate potential efficiency
issues.
Note, whether caching should be on or off by default is unclear, and I
think can only be answered by implementing a lot more of this framework
and doing some profiling.
