Comment(by kcrisman):
> I like `auto` more than `automatic`, so I don't want to change it.
Agreed, but...
> Can we maybe change it the other way? Was `automatic` documented/used
somewhere before?
Yes, this is the standard 3D option. See
[http://www.sagemath.org/doc/reference/sage/plot/plot3d/base.html#sage.plot.plot3d.base.Graphics3d.show
this reference manual page] for plot/plot3d/base.pyx.
Of course, it would be possible to change the plot3d case to also accept
'auto' easily enough - in fact, that's essentially what I've done in my
latest patch - and one could change the documentation accordingly. But we
couldn't remove it without a deprecation period - and in my mind it's
pointless to go to the trouble, given that it's mostly a default so we
could change things without even needing to deprecate that option.
