Greetings all,

I have been fiddling around with implicit_plot3d for most of the day
and I have noticed that sometimes, the range of values for z are
partially disregarded.

sage:  implicit_plot3d((x^2)/2+(y^2)/2+(z^2)/2,(x,-5,5),(y,-5,5),(z,
0,5),contour=2)

should produce only the northern hemisphere of the sphere of radius
sqrt(8) but it produces the entire sphere.  Meanwhile

sage:  implicit_plot3d((x^2)/2+(y^2)/2+(z^2)/2,(x,0,5),(y,0,5),
(z,-5,5),contour=2)

only produces the portion of the sphere in the first octant, rather
than a full quarter of the sphere.

Of course, the z-range is not always disregarded.

sage:  implicit_plot3d((x^2)/2+(y^2)/2+(z^2)/2,(x,0,5),(y,-5,5),
(z,-5,5),contour=2)

produces the expected output.

This happens on both 4.1.1 (on sagenb) and 4.1.2 (my installation).
For convenience, I've published the sagenb notebook.  http://sagenb.org/pub/830/

I have tried tracing through the code, but I was quickly overwhelmed
by the task.
