It's really nice to hear that. As Eric said, it's one thing that is 
sorely missed.

As it's being implemented, here is a little wish. I'd like to see the 
capability of contouring on an arbitrary grid. That is, matplotlab would 
be able to plot the contours of a function f(x_i, y_i) given on an 
arbitrary set of points (x_i, y_i), not necessarily set out on a regular 
grid.
