The release notes say “[Qt] is now the fastest and most full-featured 
interactive terminal option”.  Beyond that, this is just what I wanted 
to see for myself.

One of the most first differences I noticed is that the symbols (when 
plotting ‘with points’ or ‘with linespoints’) are asymmetric.  What is 
the purpose of that?

At first I thought it was so that you could tell apart different symbols 
more easily when points are on top of each other (e.g., like a “*” will 
hide “+” and “x” below it).  But that is not the case since all of the 
symbols are asymmetric in the same way.
