I don't know if I agree. I mean, certainly it makes sense to integrate
symbolic expressions and to plot them, but the point of the deprecation
warning is that you should specify which variable you want to integrate
with respect to, or plot with respect to.

Then again, with plot(), if there's more than one free variable in the
symbolic expression, it doesn't make sense to plot it anyway. The same
is true of numerical integration (though not of symbolic integration).
So I guess I answered my own question.

Note: the above reasoning doesn't apply to plot3d() - there is still
ambiguity as to which of two free variables should be on the x axis and
which on the y axis. And maybe that's why plot3d(), unlike plot(), does
seem to generate the deprecation warning.
