Sorry, but I don't understand what you mean. What should be integrated 
into gnuplot and for what reason?

I guess you need your graphics for a presentation where you overlay 
several plots. If so, this is a rather special case, in most other cases 
the default behaviour of 'set ylabel' to adapt to the ytics format, is 
desirable.
