  it would give something useful to most users.My vote would be to make 
this the default, rather than nothing. It wouldn't be any more expensive 
than for the other plotting commands, and  Having struggled with this, I 
know it would have taken me a while to find an autolim keyword, even if 
it had been there. Of course, It would have been a lot simpler if cla() 
had worked right, which Eric has fixed.

Perhaps I'm too focused on my use case, however. Any way you do it is 
quite usable.
