Ah, that's unfortunate. Might be a fun summer project to try to implement, 
if I knew where to start.

On another note: I really like the @interact annotation. I'm messing around 
with it, because I would like to add another parameter to my plot - an 
integer representing an index in a discrete family of functions. But I keep 
getting python errors about my expression not being symbolic when I try to 
include an integer parameter (like n = var('n'), then passing in n=2). Any 
tips?
