I have to disagree.  histeps is simply the wrong plot style for this 
input.  'steps' or 'fsteps' would be a good deal better.

The horizontal edge for the bin [20:30] should go neither from 15 to 25, 
nor from [sqrt(200):sqrt(600)], but from 20 to 30.  Expressing this by 
an x position of 25 and then letting gnuplot reconstruct the original 
boundaries is quite circuitous.
