Comment (by kcrisman):

 One data point is an email I got today (unrelated to Sage development,
 just use) asking why
 {{{
 plot(1/x,xmin=-5,xmax=5)
 }}}
 didn't result as expected.  So maybe we should do more than ignore them,
 but raise an error or something...

 ----

 NO!  My belief is that this is a typo.  Notice that in #5651, the places
 where this is ignored are ALL some kind of contour or "rectangular" plot,
 except for plot.py, but then plot_field.py does ''not'' have this, even
 though it's this kind of plot.  In fact, we probably should support things
 like
 {{{
 sage: plot(x,(x,1,5),xmin=2)
 }}}
 since we might want to keep the data but not show it.
