Well, it's certainly a way to get feature requests! (By the way, those need
to be actual feature requests, please.

OK, just because it was so easy, I did implement changeable axes labels.
Simple as:

axes labels "x" "y" "z"

I thought about the tick/bounding box idea, and I have an improvement. I
think I'll have it done today, and I promise that it will involve almost no
new code (because I have found a way to streamline the measurement code at
the same time). The idea is a general measure that looks like a ruler, with
major, minor, and subminor ticks (if desired) and markings along the way (if
desired). I think this could be a cool look in general, and it could be then
used anywhere you want, perhaps along a bounding box, or along an axis, or
just anywhere.

The tachyon tracer idea is a good one -- just show me the format.
