If I understand you correctly, then what we want to expose is the
"timefmt" that is put into the data file and then passed to gnuplot.
The following patch is a complete one against current which adds this
(it works for me, at least), and documents the new +PLOT option
behavior.
The one thing I'm not sure about is my method of passing the timefmt
parameter all the way into the temp file creation function. I made a
buffer-local variable there to do it. That seemed the least intrusive
way to accomplish this, but it seemed like poor practice. Thoughts?
You know, I really ought to allow a person to customize this variable (I
mean, using customize).
