Yes... the preprocessing can be done more cleanly in lua. And these module
will not have to do the book-keeping of creating external files and
running programs on them. In addition, you get all the features of the
filter module. So one could set the output directory:
\setupGNUPLOT[directory=gnuplot]
will create all temporary files in a 'gnuplot' directory.
If a figure depends on an external data-set, you can choose to always run
gnuplot on it.
%by default only rerun if the file has changed
\setupGNUPLOT[continue=yes]
\startGNUPLOT[continue=no]
... read from data-set
\stopGNUPLOT
etc. Not to mention less maintenance for everyone.
