Comment:

 Just out of curiosity, what is the 'backward-incompatible' change you
 mention?   Which extra positional arguments - like dpi?  (Though Jason
 also got rid of that - I wonder why?)

 I guess I mean to ask whether this is a good such change; usually there is
 a deprecation period.  After all, doctests catch very few of our use cases
 :)  What is wrong with the usual `*args,**kwds` syntax?

 As for `savenow`, it looks like with it being `False` we could still
 create a Sage object.  You are right that it seems a little redundant,
 though!

 Also, this needs a doctest (it's in the original patch) to show that
 animate options actually work, at least in theory (if one looked at it and
 ran the optional tests).  So... needs work.  Sorry :(
