You are using it correctly -- plot_date doesn't support multiple x,y
pairs; many plot functions do not, plot is more of an exception than
the rule here. plot_date could pass the arguments straight through to
plot, but this would break the default fmt argument ('bo') that
plot_date uses, which is different than the one plot uses.
