Yes, I think that makes sense given the quoting rules of " vs '
delimeted character strings.

This seems to work properly for me in the current development sources,
at least with title objects:

  title ("foo_bar", "interpreter", "none");

To be compatible with Matlab, the legend needs to be constructed as a
separate subplot instead of using the "key" feature of gnuplot.
