Plotting functions directly in Makie

Tooling
1

A syntax from Plots.jl that I love is plot(x->x^2), and plot(cos), where I can add a second and third argument to specify a range of x-values. This is really an example of delicious syntax - straight to the point.

I say, if the function can be smart enough to create arrays of corresponding points using the function passed, then let it do it, so that I don’t have to define variables to hold the values when I only want to use it for plotting.

Is this possible in Makie? I have tried a couple of things are had a small look around in the example gallery, but I have not seen any indication that this is implemented. If it is correct that it is not, are there plans to make it happen?

lines(0..10, sin) works for example, there are a couple others, but not a single function without an interval as far as I know

For completeness, both of the examples below work. In order to understand it, I view it as still giving xvalues and then yvalues as intervals, ranges, and functions instead of datapoints:

using GLMakie
plot(0..2, x->x^2)
plot(0:0.1:2, x->x^3)
