One possible problem: for some values, these values will actually 
constitute an alternative to "show <some setting>", for others, it would 
expose data that was never available outside the run time of the 'plot' 
command itself, or via explicit methods (writeback/recall for range 
ends).  I.e. we may have to reserve all prefixes starting with GP to 
have an opportunity to later distinguish between GPSET_* and GPVAL_*

So deprecate MOUSE_*, but keep them working for 4.2, or maybe the entire 
4.* series, if we ever make enough releases to form one ;-)
