Well, since we both have different parsers (we support different languages),
we can't merge the code itself just like that. Actually I think this library
should be a compendium of plotting algorithms which should get the
expression and environment values and output lists of polilines.
I can help you creating the abstractions for that (you could use some I
already have in KAlgebra for functions and extend it).
