#8121: preparsing of "time" special command inconsistent in company of 
parenthesis

   Priority:  major     |   Milestone:  sage-4.3.2
  Component:  notebook  |    Keywords:

 On the Sage (=IPython) command line:
 {{{
 sage: time (2+2)/3
 CPU times: user 0.00 s, sys: 0.00 s, total: 0.00 s
 Wall time: 0.00 s
 4/3
 sage: time(2+2)/3
 ...
 NameError: name 'time' is not defined
 }}}

 In the notebook
 {{{
 sage: time     (2+2)/3
 ...
 NameError: name 'time' is not defined
 }}}

 This is happening because in some cases Sage treats "time <foo>" as a
 function call, and sometimes not.  In the notebook it is always a
 function, when <foo> starts with a paren, but on the command line it is a
 function only if there is no space between time and (.

 FIX: Make the notebook work exactly the same was as the command line, in
 this instance.  That seems like a reasonable solution or compromise.
