errorlines vs errorbars

[Allin C. <cot...@wf...>]

Is there any real difference between "errorbars" and "errorlines"?  
>From the help for errorbars it sounds as if there should be a 
difference, but I can't see any in the output.

One feature that would be nice to have -- and that, for a moment, 
I though "errorlines" might provide -- is the ability to plot a 
primary series plus y-axis error high and low using just lines 
(and not vertical bars) for all 3 components.  (This is the most 
common way of graphing forecasts with error bands in economics.)

Of course one can achieve this effect manually by providing y, 
high and low as 3 distinct arguments to 'plot' and forcing the 
high and low series to use the same line style/type/color.  But it 
would be a lot more convenient to be able to provide the same 
basic input and select the style via errorbars vs 
errorsomethingelse.
