I do not use org-babel, and I do not plan to move to it.  I'm happy with 
my extension, but I do see that there's no positive reaction from users, 
only the group of reviewers who doesn't like the idea.  as said, let's 
just keep it this way.

your above request suggests me you're missing the point.  there is 
nothing to be seen in the generated gnuplot source, because all is 
solved in lisp.  or it's me missing your point, that can be, too.

anyhow, these are a couple of webpastes for you:

this is the complete gnuplot session, showing the code produced with 
`use:1' and then with `use:2', given the table I already shared.

what will show you the logic is the lisp code, which I thought I already 
shared, but I guess I did not insist up to the latest version.  anyhow, 
here are a couple of snippets, partial or complete rewrites of 
org-plot.el code.
