[sage-devel] About plot(sin(x))

Hello everybody, Just a random thought. I typed "plot(sin(x))" today, and it felt "wrong" that the plot was on x=-1...1. I know that we are not wizards, and that we cannot magically guess the "right" interval to plot a function. But I wondered: what would you think of changing that default to -3,
