I am afraid that you are making still worse the already very bad 
situation about
legends(), legend(), captions() and the leg= plotting options, that all 
basically
do the same thing, but all with pitfalls: http://bugzilla.scilab.org/5371

*By the way, why improving xstring() in this way to make it legend-like 
instead**
**of using one of the existing functions?* In one hand, you agree on 
removing duplicates
like xstringl() of stringbox() (http://bugzilla.scilab.org/14755#c1) . 
In the other hand,
you are aiming to make a 5-plicate ;) Arrrg.
I definitely disagree on making xstring() modifying the margins. IMO, it 
would be much
better a) to actually gather existing legends functions, b) to add 
missing features to the merged version.
