[Gnuplot-info] Two formats for axis ranging -- any difference?

[Craig D. <def...@bo...>]

Is there a functional difference between these two cases?

   set xrange [0:10]
   plot '-' using 1 notitle with lines

and 

   plot [0:10] '-' using 1 notitle with lines

More generally, is there ever a reason one would want to use one vs. the other?  Currently the Perl module PDL::Graphics::Gnuplot supports syntax to generate either of those case, but it would simplify the syntax and the API if we didn't have to keep both of those cases.
