 Does this mean that it can save to vector formats now, or just that you
 intend to add that functionality?  EPS would be awesome, because it's
 pretty much the only thing you can use directly with LaTeX.  (Yes,
 pdfLaTeX accepts many other formats, but many scientific journals still
 require you to provide EPS figures.)

 Of course, one can usually convert losslessly between the various
 vector formats, but it would be most convenient if Plot2kill could save
 directly to EPS, PDF and SVG.

 ?  Plot2kill (the GTK version) has been able to save to EPS, SVG,
 PDF, PNG, JPEG and BMP since I switched the GTK port to use the Cairo
 backend last July.  (The DFL port can only do BMP and PNG.)  If this is
 a killer feature for you, I apologize for not publicizing it more back
 then.  I've been eating my own dogfood since then.  All of the graphs in
 my Ph.D. proposal and a publication manuscript I'm working on are
 Plot2Kill rendered and saved in vector formats.

Oh, I didn't know that.  That's very cool!  I can't remember seeing an 
announcement of this feature from you, nor did I expect the feature to be 
there, so I guess I just didn't look that closely for it. :)

LIFO refrigerators

 You'd need a fridge with two doors: one in the front, one in the back. Insert
 new food in the front, get food to eat from the back (or the other way round).
 But reinsert opened food in the back (or, in the alternative case, in the 
 front).

Or a cylinder-shaped refrigerator with rotating food shelves. Put new stuff in 
the front and turn the shelf slightly clockwise to expose oldest food for 
eating.

Ain't circular buffers yummy?
