Manuel, Spurred by Erik's reminder, I started looking at it, but I am badly distracted and short of time, and so it would be great if you can take it from here. Scanning the patch, I wondered whether it could be done more concisely (probably not much, if any), and whether it would make sense to use the "fill" method for the "stepfill" form; it appears that at present it is using regular bar patches for the filling. But if it works as-is maybe it's fine. The idea of offering a step-plot version seems worthwhile. Another feature that I suspect would be useful would be a "cumulative" option, to yield a cumulative histogram.
