def Curve(F, A=None):
"""
Return the plane or space curve defined by ``F``, where ``F`` can be either
a multivariate polynomial, a list or tuple of polynomials, or an algebraic
scheme.
If no ambient space is passed in for ``A``, and if ``F`` is not an
algebraic scheme, a new ambient space is constructed.
Also not specifying an ambient space will cause the curve to be defined in
either affine or projective space based on properties of ``F``. In
particular, if ``F`` contains a nonhomogenous polynomial, the curve is
affine, and if ``F`` consists of homogenous polynomials, then the curve is
projective.
INPUT:
- ``F`` -- a multivariate polynomial, or a list or tuple of polynomials, or an algebraic scheme.
- ``A`` -- (default: None) an ambient space in which to create the curve.
