Scratch the note for Typed Racket users, except for the "it shouldn't take long" part. Vincent just fixed optional arguments in Typed Racket. Making plots in Typed Racket is now exactly the same as in untyped Racket, except you require a different module and annotate the plotted functions. Very nice, V.

Working from Ray Racine's initial Typed Racket interface to `plot', I've
added the module `plot/typed'. It should be in the next nightly build,
if something I did earlier for it doesn't continue to break the build.
It shouldn't. :D

Example use:

#lang typed/racket

(require math plot/typed)

(plot3d (contour-intervals3d
          (λ: ([x : Real] [y : Real])
            (/ (gamma x) (gamma y)))
          0.25 2 0.25 2)
         #:angle 250
         #:out-file "gamma-ratio.pdf")


Every documented `plot' and `plot/utils' export is now typed, and they
pass the new `plot/typed' tests. There are probably small errors remaining.

Two things to note:

  * For Typed Racket users: non-keyword optional arguments are currently
    required. We're waiting on a fix in TR for this. It shouldn't take
    long. In the meantime, including all non-keyword arguments doesn't
    seem to be a serious imposition, because they're usually required to
    get sensible plot bounds. (For multiple plots, use `#f'.)

  * For all plot users: functions that used to accept lists and vectors
    now accept arbitrary sequences and sequences of sequences. Even the
    function passed to `vector-field' can return a sequence.

Ray: thanks a ton for doing most of it. It took me just over a day
instead of a week because of your initial work.
