I think the behavior makes sense in 1d (pandas does the same linear interpolation I think)

I'm not so sure it makes sense in 1D, either. Most of the time I've wished that large gaps were replaced with empty gaps. I've learned to be suspicious of long straight lines.

One option would be to add a max_spacing argument to plot() that indicates a maximum "valid" spacing to plot continuously over. If a gap is larger than the spacing, then it would plotted empty instead.

Potentially we could even default to some heuristic choice for max_spacing, but I'm not sure exactly what that heuristic would be.

I'm also not entirely sure how to implement max_spacing for pcolormesh, contour or line plots. I suspect it would be impossible to do for imshow (but that's OK, imshow is only for completely regular data).
