Though it sure looks nice, but we should not force it onto the user, who 
should have the freedom to either use an 'elegant' setting as the default or 
the existing setting as the default.

I have been thinking on this for a while now. The plot_options plugin is now 
being used at many places. So it might be useful to add some more par(..) 
options to it. Of course, to be compatible with the existing usages, set 
<external id="allow_argument" defualt="false"/> for the new 'arguments'.

Then comes the question of setting 'default' par(...) configs. Should it be 
done globally from Settings > Configure RKWard > par() settings (another 
tab) ? Then read the default settings when initializing plot_options.xml (But 
such conditional approach in xml is not possible, or atleast not elegantly, I 
suppose)? So what solution, if any, for a modified 'default' set of par(...) 
cofigs, exists?
