You can reset "set" commands to the default values by the "reset" command. 
This works for all except for the "set terminal" command. There, a command 
like "set terminal reset" would be required (for the current terminal) or 
"reset terminals" (to reset all terminals). You are welcome to implement 
this feature.

IMHO, these permanent options are a good idea even for interactive driving: 
for example, you can set terminals to "enhanced" mode in your .gnuplot file 
and don't need to do this in the driving program.
