Title: ENH: Allow imshow to show images when given file name.

I'm not convinced that this will be very useful, but while doing some data analysis in IPython, I thought it'd be nice to use `imshow` with just the name of the image file. This doesn't really save that much typing, but I thought it might be convenient nonetheless.
