I was suggesting not dotting out the output of {{{cmap_help()}}}. We run
the test suite before any release, and if the cmap actually does change in
matplotlib, then we'll know since the relevant doctest will fail. The
Sage library and its test suite is designed to work with precisely one
version of matplotlib -- the one we ship with Sage -- so you don't have to
worry about making the doctest example work with numerous different
versions.
In short, I was suggesting a way that the list of all valid colormaps
could be safely displayed in the docstrings of the functions that use
them. This would avoid having to have a function {{{cmap_help()}}} in the
global namespace, and means that people can instantly just see the list of
colormaps instead of having to carefully read the docstring, figure out
that there is a function cmap_help, then call it, etc., which to some
would feel like an awkward workflow.
