simple feature request for fit

[<pl...@pi...>]

Hi,

fit is one of the best features of gnuplot but its rather verbose output  
spamming the console can be annoying.

I frequently have useful output from print statements in a gnuplot file  
that I need to see. Having to scoll back several pages and parse  
screenfuls of junk to read two consecutive lines of output is obstructive.

Clearly the fit output can be very relevant and useful but if we dont need  
to see the dirty details of every iteration every time it runs, an option  
to for a silent run would be nice.

printing the final parameter values would probably suffice much of the  
time.

regards, Peter.
