Stacked 2D Graphics?

I'd like a simple prescription for displaying a number of conventional
x-y Plots stacked up one behind another with each plot displaced up and
to the right as you go deeper into the stack and with a "hidden line"
capability turned on so that nearer plots "paint over" more distant
ones.

I can sort of do this with the HiddenPlot and StackedGraphics packages,
but I haven't figured out out to rotate the viewpoint and axes in
StackedGraphics so that I see the graphs "head on" but with the
requisite shifts.

Seems as if this kind of plotting is so widely used that a convenient
built-in capability ought to be available (and that HiddenPlot ought to
be an option in Plot and other built-in graphics, rather than requiring
a separate package).
