[R] ?plot: Add an example on how to plot functions to the help of `plot`.

Dear R folks,


currently the section Examples contains the following as an example on
how to plot a ?normal? function.

	plot(sin, -pi, 2*pi)

Since it does not contain the argument for the function it would be
helpful to add for example the following.

        ## plots the graph of f(x) = x**2 with f(x) ? [1, 10]

        curve(x**2, 1, 10)

        ## plots the graph of f(x) = x**3 with f(x) ? [1, 10] and adds it to an
already existing plot

        curve(x**3, 1, 10, add=T)

        ## plots the graph of f(x) = x**4 connected by lines and adds it to an
already existing plot

        lines(x, x**4, add=T)

`curve` and `lines` could be also added to the section See Also.


Thanks,

Paul
