Thanks, that's two good pluses.

Any suggestions on name changes, or other fixes to make?  Otherwise,
once I find a free minute I'll put it in.

Should it go into pyplot directly, or elsewhere and imported from
pyplot to expose it at the top-level?  (I'm not overly familiar with
the layout of the whole library).

I'm also trying to show my students how *they* can improve their
tools; e.g. earlier this week a homework problem I wrote up led me to
a useful sympy patch that was quickly upstreamed:

http://git.sympy.org/?p=sympy.git;a=commit;h=507c4df6a9edfd5de5ad28535d1f9236db23bf04

and perhaps with this one we can do the same.

I hope that with a few of these examples, at least a few of them will
see the value of making the transition from pure user-mode to more
involved users/contributors (for context, this is a group of
scientists in Colombia with good computational skills but no tradition
of open source contributions; I'm hoping to help a little on this
front).

Cheers,

f
