OK by me.

OK by me. (1) Also cut the description of openplot_curves.
(2) Since openplot_curves was a documented, user-visible

a message like "openplot_curves is superseded by plot2d" or
something like that.

Looks good to me.

Thanks a lot for working on this stuff. Plotting is important
to a lot of users.
