Comment:

 Hello !

 I think that this branch is ready to go, but I have a couple of questions
 to ask (I am new to this code):

 - What would you think of an alternative error message: "The function to
 be integrated depends on 2 variables (x,y), and so cannot be integrated in
 one dimension. Please fix additional variables with the 'params'
 argument".

   It took me some time to understand what exactly the problem was with the
 current error message, because I did not understand what 'parameters'
 meant.

 - It seems dangerous to me that `params` is a list but not a dictionary.
 It seems difficult for the user to know for sure which variable will
 receive which value. Isn't that a problem ? Sorry, I really do not know
 the code.

 If you agree to change the error message to the one I proposed, tell me
 and I will write a commit.
