Summary: plot2d tries to plot no-numbers

Initial Comment:
if you try to plot a symbolic function, plot2d generates an empty plot (which can take very long for complicated function, and interrupting will spoil maxima, so that one has to restart). This is a bit annoying. Typing:

(%i1) f(x):=a*x;
(%o1) 				  f(x) := a x
(%i2) plot2d(f(x),[x,0,5]);

will give you a plot even if 'a' is undefined. I think this is a Bug and not a feature.
