Comment:

 One more point that I thought of when trying to use this feature.  Why
 should I have to specify the names of variables more than once?
 Introspection should be able to get these from my gen_transform function.
 It seems like I should be able to do this:

 {{{
 class Cylindrical(sage.plot.plot3d.plot3d._CoordTrans):
     """
     Some docs for the mathematical definitions of the variables
     """
     def gen_transform(self, radius=None, azimuth=None, height=None):
         return (radius * cos(azimuth),
                 radius * sin(azimuth),
                 height)
 }}}

 and things should just work.  all_vars can be inferred from the keyword
 arguments to gen_transform.  It's pretty easy to come up with a good
 default _name (i.e., 'name of class (variables) coordinate system').
