Comment(by fwclarke):

 Replying to [comment:2 mhansen]:

 Point taken.

 > There is a decorator at sage.plot.misc.rename_keyword that could be use
 to rename a 'name' keyword argument to 'names'.  A useful thing to do
 would be to add a flag to that decorator so that a deprecation warning
 would be thrown whenever a rename is done.

 I think in this case there's a simpler solution,  already used in the
 `NumberField`function, which allows either `name` or `names`; see the
 replacement patch.
