Comment (by ncohen):
> This has annoyed the hell out of me about 100 times in the last month:
Your turn. Silently ignored arguments annoyed the hell out of me for a
while too. I had no idea why nothing happened.
> I strongly disagree with this deprecation. It is an extremely useful
feature that the plotting functions hold their arguments, then pass the
unused arguments on to show, just like the do (by design!) in 3d graphics,
and did do (by design!) for many years in 2d graphics.
I have nothing against passing arguments from a function to another. I
have something against failing silently. Now we have a list of arguments
which are understood and used by show/plot, and you can use that to check
that what you forward to another function will actually be used. You can
also do the same everywhere else, and add these flags to the the
documentation, which is far from being a rule everywhere else.
