Thanks to everyone who responded with your suggestions.  A variant of 
this one looks like the best for my purposes, since I want to smoothly 
be able to support multiple plot types (Plot, LogPlot, etc.) without 
needing a carefully and completely constructed layout for each variant. 
  Plotting the curve fit _first_ and then using the Epilog option seems 
like the easiest approach.
