Clever? No.

Dunno about the latter, but the former should be able to be done with judicious use of the
[xy]ticks and [xy]tickv keywords to plot.

For the latter, you'd probably have to use xyouts (yuk). But maybe you can also do it with
[xy]tickv, but including formatting commands as part of the tick labels? E.g. !U ? It'll
superscript the number but also make it smaller.

I'm sure it can be done in OG, but it'll probably take a week to write the code to do it. :o)
