If I understand your description correctly, that is supported by the
above patch:

plot <whatever> using filledcurve linetype -1 fillstyle solid <greylevel>

But maybe you are thinking of the request for shaded 
areas in the background?  That should be possible to implement
for any driver that supports filled rectangles, but I don't recall
any suggestions at all as to what sort of syntax would be used
to request such a plot.
