The late evaluation can be just a flag to "set label". That's where we
expect this feature to happen most frequently.
set label 1 sprintf("fitted values a=%g b=%g") at 1,1 lateeval

Or, there could be "sprintfLate", but to be authorized only for strings
for "set label", "set title", "(s)plot"... i.e., where the string is used
immediately.
