Delete Branch "%!s()"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?
Adds a spline curve according to three equations. Can be thought of as a one-dimensional analog to the XYZ surface already included the Extra Objects (Mesh). Useful when one wants a line rather than a surface, and can be of variable thickness and resolution, like any curve.add_curve_3d_function_curve.py

Can you provide examples for when this functionality is useful?
I'm wondering, does it make sense for this to be part of the Extra Objects addon?
This could be useful any time you want to create a curve with known properties, such as a suspension bridge or visualizing any sort of xyz function in school. One could use this in a physics class, for example, visualizing trajectories, or in math to show how to create three-dimensional functions.
As for whether it makes sense to be part of the Extra Objects addon, I think it would. However, I am not part of the development team for the extra objects add-ons and I don't want to overstep on them by adding this to their add-on without permission. As it is, I think it makes sense to add it as a separate thing unless the author(s) of the extra objects want it included.

I think it would be best if you could find a developer who worked on the Extra Objects addon. You can use "git blame" to figure out who worked on the files last. Looks like @cwolf3d made some changes to it before.
I could imagine it being part of that addon, but it is probably way to specific to be added as its own addon.
Can you make some screenshots that show what the addon can do?

I feel that this addon is useful enough to be added to Blender. I do not think it is too specific to be its own addon, as it can be used to create curves for any function, which is a common thing to want. Possibly a majority of the tasks I want to do are made far easier or possible at all with this capability.
If the extra objects team does think it belongs there though it would definitely make sense in either way
