The intent should be obvious: 'fit' should accept the same data input 
options as 'plot'.  That's what the documentation always said, and it's 
what the code did until two years ago, and almost did even after that 
change.

Overriding 'set' options on-the-fly has been possible in gnuplot since 
day one, and 'fit' was no exception to that, nor should it be.

'fit' actually still did honor a yrange ... but only in a fit with more 
than one independent variable.  The yrange was ignored only if there was 
one variable, but two range specifications.
