The problem with pushing that logic too far is that it ends up creating a
jump in difficulty going from the interactive use to the proper one. It's
a mistake that we did with Mayavi.

Ideally, the "correct usage pattern" should be design in a way that it is
reasonnably easy to use for interactive use.

Going back to the topic of the discussion: if we add an 'api' module,
which pattern to we want to document and encourage?
