 It turns out that
 {{{
 sage: w = vector([x^2,3,x^3])
 sage: plot(w,(x,0,1))
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 NotImplementedError
 }}}
 I guess this makes sense, since it is parametric.  But this seems
 reasonable to implement.

 Far worse is
 {{{
     from sage.structure.element import is_Vector
     if kwds.get('parametric',False) and is_Vector(funcs):
         funcs = tuple(funcs)


     if hasattr(funcs, 'plot'):
         G = funcs.plot(*args, **original_opts)
     # if we are using the generic plotting method
     else:
 }}}
 Which means that plotting a numeric vector apparently doesn't go through
 its custom `.plot()` method.  ???

 Anyway, we should figure out how to change this so that the vector
 plotting in 2 and 3 D is uniform in style.
