It would be useful when adding trend lines to be able to set 'extrapolate to
a number' rather than 'forecast x units along'. This would allow you to click
extrapolate to x=0 so that the trend line can be seen back to the axis. It
also means that you don't have to calculate the difference between the last
data point and the point you wish to extrapolate to.

Getting the y value for x=0 is a simple exercise. Set x=0 in the
regression equation.
