Re: simple feature request for fit

Hi,

quite a while ago Thomas Mattison posted patch
"[ 1445064 ] Gnuplot fitting improvements"
on sourceforge. Amongst many other things it
includes

 > 7. New one-line progress-report,
 > revert by FIT_CLASSIC_PROGRESS = 1
 >
 > 8. New final fit parameter report format,
 > revert by FIT_CLASSIC_RESULT = 1

It's a large patch which changes quite a lot
of things, which in my opinion kept it from
being included. Also the control variables
it introduces should be converted to options
to 'set fit'.
I started to split the patch into smaller
pieces, which could be included more easily.
Due to lack of time I haven't been able to
finish it though.
