Currently, "set term" lists all available terminals, while gnuplot docs
describes docs for all terminals. Then we are sure that gnuplot docs is

that the terminals listed below may be platform-dependent or not available
on some systems.

I would also prefer an option. Maybe "rleft, rright, rcenter" for
rotated-sth?
