I do like the idea of _list_plot() accepting only one format, and the user-facing list_plot() doing the work of mangling your data into that accepted format. Seems like a nice separation of function. (Although that's very close to the current situation with list_plot, since all the real work is done by line() or point().) > I often draw plots using list_plot because it allows me to control > exactly where the points are put and how many samples I take (as > opposed to using the plot command, which refines).

I didn't think of this yesterday, but consider making animations: now you might have to create several hundred plots. My 7 millisecond delay is now on the order of seconds.
