since you are looking at zoom, I have noticed that current code does not  
unzoom as I expected having read the doc.

'u' just jumps back to initial unzoomed plot. I seem to recall the doc  
saying it goes to "previous" zoom state.

Thus if I do two successive zooms I'd expected to back out in two steps  
with 'u'.

Maybe I just misunderstood, if so, this may be a good idea. I often want  
to do just this and end up having to repeat the first zoom.
