Backquoted shell-filter to prepare data-file for plotting (as in Gnuplot) is very desirable.
If I try to use it in Pyxplot as is, I see:
pyxplot> plot `cat dat.txt`
Syntax Error: expecting ":", or "axes", or "every", or "index", or "label", or "select", or "title", or "notitle", or "using", or "with", or "," or end of command.

plot 0.1 1.2 3.1 3.0 2.1
The other drawback of backquoted shell-command -- it doesn't keep the newline characters!
