This would be an extremely useful addition to gnuplot
and open many possibilities. Personally I would
be interested in that type of functionality when using
gnuplot from python. Presumably there are other languages/situations
where something like this would be useful as well. So it
would be nice if a future "gnuplot -- octave" solution is general enough
to be extensible for other situations.

Keep on the great work!
