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).
