It's not exactly missing --- it's just not presented in the shape of 
'set graphical_object' type commands.  Instead, you have to prepare and 
plot special-purpose datasets that define these shapes in plot styles 
like 'with filledcurves' or 'with lines'.  Since these datasets can be 
inlined, you don't even need an external file.  E.g. here's a square
drawn into a sine curve plot:

	plot sin(x), '-' notitle w l
	  0.5 0.5
	  0.75 0.5
	  0.75 0.75
	  0.5 0.75
	  0.5 0.5
