My proposal is different from ctrl-q. It describes the inner way of 
gnuplot code, not a user interface/option. This must be hidden from the 
user; user does not care about the implementation of built-in bindings.

I comment only on how to enable / disable ' ' and 'q' for binding, not what 
happens after a 'set term'.
