Gee, I wish I was a student at UW! :).  I really appreciate the effort 
various people have put into the plotting framework.  The NotImplemented 
parts have bothered me for a while (as well as some of the framework 
itself), but I haven't had time to do an overhaul, though I've made some 
somewhat meager attempts at starting.  If someone were to spearhead such 
a thing, I'd like to be involved.  I don't see the time in my future for 
spearheading such a thing until possibly next April/May at the earliest.

Mike's improvements to plot.py (both his cleanup and his patch for 
options decorators) make such an overhaul much easier.  Kudos and a 
candy bar to him.

Thanks,

Jason
