- Enhanced text mode accepts 2#2U+xxxx (xxxx is a 4 or 5 character hexadecimal)
as representing a Unicode code point that is converted to the corresponding
UTF-8 byte sequence on output.
- The character sequence $# in a using specifier evaluates to the total
number of columns available in the current line of data. For example
"plot FOO using 0:(column($# - 1))" plots the last-but-one field of each row.
- Time/date input recognizes format %p to handle am/pm field
- plot titles are evaluated *after* plotting, rather than before. This allows
the title to reference quantities calculated while plotting.
- Built-in modified Bessel functions (besi0 besi1 besin)
- Built-in order N Bessel functions of the 1st and 2nd kind (besjn besyn)
- (5.4.2) in "using" context, $# means "number of columns in current data line"
- (5.4.2) "plot with fillsteps {above3#3below y=4#4value5#5}" analogous to filledcurves
- (5.4.3) "nogrid" flag allows splot components to opt out of dgrid3d processing
- (5.4.3) "set style histogram nokeyseparators" (see newhistogram (p.

))
