New issue 745: Can't pl.plot(YTArray, YTArray)
https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt/issue/745/cant-plplot-ytarray-ytarray
Sam Skillman:
```
#!python
from yt.mods import *
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
a = YTArray([1.0,2.0])
plt.plot(a, a)
```
produces:
```
#!python

argl = arg.lower()
AttributeError: 'YTArray' object has no attribute 'lower'
```
Using .to_ndarray() on a in the plotting call works as expected. pl.plot(a) also works, so I think this must be something about mpl interpreting the second ytarray as a different arg/kwarg.
