I think that it's a much better proposal than with subplot().
But IMO features must not be duplicated: xsetech() features should then 
be merged and extended only in newaxes(), not in both newaxes() and 
subplot(). Duplicates lead to heavy useless code maintenance and usages 
discrepancies. Very bad.

Now, newaxes() is a primitive, more complicated to extend than subplot() 
that is a macro.
Anyway, the  xsetech() page should then be removed.
