The fallback is just to call `evalf` instead something like `lambdify`. It
is always slower, but works even on the most bizarre expressions. For
integrals, indeed, there are many points that are resampled with this naive
solution (the algorithm becomes n^2 instead of n).

Numeric libraries like scipy provide routines for doing this in a single
pass, however one provides the points to be sampled beforehand. mpmath
which is used in this case does not provide this as far as I know.

Even if it is provided we will have to somehow link this routine to
`Integral.evalf`, because if we just write a special case for the plotting
module, it will work for `Integral(...)` but not for something more general
like `exp(Integral(...))` or `x*Integral(...)`.

So yes, we can implement the single-pass algorithm, but it will require
some creativity so 1) it will work without us explicitly telling the
algorithm beforehand which points are to be sampled and 2) it is callable
like an ordinary `evalf`.
