But then also "plot 'file.dat' notitle with lines" is unambiguus.
The token "with" is a valid key word at its place, so it has to be
read as one.  It should be general policy that key words have higher
precedence than optional expressions (numbers and strings).

That said, the implementation of "notitle" is buggy.  And I don't
really know how it should be fixed.
