That happened before the split.

Another thing that happened after the split was removing support for
gnuplot from the core parser/interpreter, which greatly simplified the
core parser for the language.

The changes like gplot -> __gnuplot_plot__ and gset -> __gnuplot_set__
may seem a bit painful now, but I think they will make things much
better in the long term.  I decided to start making that change in the
2.1.x series to make the transition somewhat easier.  The old forms
still work in 2.9.x, but will likely be removed by 3.0.
