OK so I have both the snapshot and the 1.9.90 installed. Installed the
snapshot first.
I have two scripts A and B. A works in 1.9.90 but not the snapshot
(gnuplot 5rc thing) and B works in snapshot but not in 1.9.90 (new
feature thing). Both A and B run and fail as expected. Hurray!
Will this be a new feature for the next release or will it be strictly
for the snapshot?
It's intended for the next release so long as it works OK, which seems to
be the case.
