Is STATS_min_y documented?

    I am using gnuplot 5.2 patchlevel 6.

    After reading the documentation, I thought that doing

    stats file u 1:2
    

    min and max of the second collumn would be in set in STATS_min and STATS_max. However, these variables don't exist. They appear as STATS_min_y and STATS_max_y. STATS_min and STATS_max only appear if using

    stats file u 2
    

    I didn't find STATS_min_y and STATS_max_y documented anywhere. Is that unintended?

    OK, I found that it is correctly documented.

    If two columns are analysed jointly by a single stats command, the suffix
    "_x" or "_y" is appended to each variable name.
