Comment (by kcrisman):

 > This is only about rich output, which is different from the standard
 repr.

 For the record, I think that most users will not understand this subtle
 difference.  I know that I don't.  What is "rich output", anyway?

 That said, if you think it's a pretty nasty bug that `show` has different
 results for different object types, that could be worth discussing on
 sage-devel.  I guess for most non-plot objects I can think of, `show` does
 some !LaTeXing, right?  And it seems reasonable to me to have different
 default outputs for
 {{{
 sage: Obj
 }}}
 for different kinds of objects - a plot should be shown, a symbolic
 expression should just be printed, a matrix should be printed unless it's
 too big, etc., while
 {{{
 sage: Obj.show()
 }}}
 should "show" the object in some meaningful way.  But maybe that's related
 to the `pretty_print`, which I never really used but maybe is becoming
 more important?

 Sorry for this postscript, I just feel like there are some hairs being
 split here that are perhaps overly infinitesimally split already.
