I think it would be good to define a new S-expression config file that can
be used to store the plot configurations of the simulator. This file should
just contain the plot information, such as lines displayed, their
style/color, axis configurations, colors, etc. (and maybe analysis
parameters, I haven't thought about that part yet). This would allow us to
add the functionality to open/save plot styles (similar to how a Modelsim
.do file can be used to save/configure the waveform display, but ours won't
be a script).
