It does make sense and gnuplot supports this perfectly fine. From the
gnuplot info manual (commands > set-show > xtics), an example is:
: set xtics ("low" 0, "medium" 50, "high" 100)
however, how to get this from org into gnuplot is something I cannot
help with. Sorry. Maybe babel is the way to go but I wouldn't have a
clue where to start...
