I'm happy to report that the following all yield the same picture:
(%i2) plot2d(g, [u, -1, 5]);
(%i3) plot2d(g(x), [x, -1, 5]);
(%i4) plot2d('(g(x)), [x, -1, 5]);
(%i5) plot2d('g(x), [x, -1, 5]);
with g defined above.
That is, the various ways of quoting or not quoting the function to be
plotted (each of which may seem more obvious to different people) all
have the same result.
That's using plot2d -- I don't know whether wxplot2d works the same (I
hope so).
