st: Labelling axes as percentages

It seems to me that I could save a certain amount of time if I could replace lines like
title("Figure 1" "Prevalence of DSM-IV Criterion C symptoms") ///
ylabel(0 "0%" 20 "20%" 40 "40%" 60 "60%")
with
title("Figure 1" "Prevalence of DSM-IV Criterion C symptoms") ///
ylabel(0 (20) 60, aspercent)
The wishful-thinking Stata option -aspercent- would label the axes interpreting values as percentages.
Does anyone know a neat way of doing this?
(I am already familiar with Nick's excellent SJ article on plotting on transformed scales (http://www.stata-journal.com/sjpdf.html?articlenum=gr0032).
