People used to matplotlib may find the requirement to supply the x values to a Curve annoying. I don't see why the Curve constructor couldn't just take a list/array of y-values and automatically generate the x-values by the index.

Support for constructing Charts with only y-values
2297375 
This simplifies constructing simple plots without supplying
explicit x-values. This more closely matches the matplotlib
API making it easier for new users to get started and
addresses issue #133.

I've added the new constructor in the commit above. All Chart Element types may now be instantiated with a simple iterable of y-values, e.g. this is now valid:

hv.Curve(range(10))

I'll close the issue now.

Ok great!

Now we must remember that the reason for this change is so that Curve is just as usable for quick plotting as plt.plot.
