No, it isn't. The only processing unquoted strings have been receiving so
far as "un-processing" them, i.e. inverting the processing of "" quoted
strings before they get written out or shown, for the benefit of getting
guaranteed displayable output... a '' string could contain liberal <Tab>
or non-ASCII characters, e.g., which it may not be wise to display or
save as they are.

introduction of the string-variables patchsets, that is.
Can you demonstrate an actual difference in behaviour from CVS
gnuplot caused by this?
