I would definitely vote to commit it. The only other syntaxes I can
think of (instead of logx) would be either:
a) logsamplex, which is longer but a bit more descriptive
b) Get more general, and have a variable xsample which can be set
either globally or in the plot options. This would allow for new
sampling techniques in the future to be introduced in a controlled
manner. E.g: xsample : linear would have Maxima generate points as it
currently does by default, xsample : log would be the new desired
behavior, and other options could be devised. Perhaps even things like
lists of x values or equations could become arguments in the future.
This would have to be adapted for polar plots and other varieties.
Just thinking out loud.
Cheers,
CY
