The two examples you gave make sense. this has been the case previously 
and works well.

The iteration loop would probably create equally unexpected results if 
it started doing full evaluation. All I was suggesting is that the 
substitutions that are made by iteration are also applied to the title

plot "datafile1", "datafile2" , "datafile3"

creates a legend

datafile1 -------
datafile2 -------
datafile3 -------

I am suggesting that

plot for [i in "1 2 3"] "datefile".i

does the same instead of:

"datefile".i ------
"datefile".i ------
"datefile".i ------
