This is very true (sorry, I was being flippant too early in the year).
In an interpreted environment, where you are trying out functions
repeatedly, it makes total sense.

Vaguely on-topic, the less I have to do with Gnuplot from now on, the
better!  Although, there will be a feature request at some point: can
GSL-shell render to an image?  Screen captures are low-resolution and
hacky.

As for contour plots, there are several robust algorithms and it would
probably be pretty efficient in Lua using AGG.
