Mockup

And still I don't see Col B/D in the data range of the plot. But figured it out
meanwhile...

STR: 
* create a scatter plot based on x/y
* use "Insert X/Y Error Bars..." from the context menu of the data series or
via main menu Insert
* use Cell Range to select the delta values (for positive and negative here)

This could be a solution, of course. If we keep the full flexibility it means
to add a selection on top. The mockup shows this solution with a few
modifications, some cosmetic but also structural since "[x] Same value for
both" makes no sense to offer Positive or Negative input.

IMO this makes the dialog more clunky and we cannot have different line
settings (or add the selection on this tab too). Btw, is a customization of the
error bar background required? Don't think so but in this case we need another
Area tab.

The more simple solution is a checkbox "[ ] Error bars as whiskers" shown in
the context menu and the Insert menu. This would be an easyhack but makes only
sense if ErrorRectangle becomes an attribute of the plot instead of a global
option.
