Ahh -- we're back on an a mpl-devel topic now.

I was thinking that you were proposing a "math" namespace for pylab 
users -- but it sounds like you're proposing a standard set of math 
names that will be brought in to modules for the matplotlib project 
itself. Different issue.

I don't write enough MPL internal code to have any opinion on that.

Does anyone else think this is a good idea?
