As long as you have graw or even gset {x,y,z}range, then it will hard
to know what gnuplot thinks the ranges are.

This would require keeping track of all the plot data for a given plot
(including any lines added when hold is "on") so we could set the
ranges before plotting.  It will be a bit of work.  OTOH, this is also
what is really needed if we are going to eliminate temporary files and
correctly handle plotting multiple lines directly to hardcopy devices.
