Looking at this again after more time has passes, I still think exposing autoranging is a good idea but I don't like the patch as it stands. It "infects" the API in a number of places and makes the overall module harder to use and learn. Ideally, there should be a cleaner interface, or more limited API change, or a separate high level function that can autorange existing functions without changing their API. Anyone care to propose a cleaner API?
