Thanks all for the tips, Darren, that's exactly what I had in mind - mathtext should copy the syntax of (La)TeX to a tollerable extent (without those dirty macros), so at least the high level TeX constructs behave the same.
This should allow users to plot everyday plots easily with mathtext, and when they want a publication ready EPS (perhaps one day mathtext will be good enough for it), they'll just add the option usetex, with no other code change. I think it's easier to stick with plain TeX's syntax because it's very well documented.
