Well, we could keep it simple and just give a hook to custom figures.
If a user wants a custom subplot

class MyFigure(Figure):
   def add_my_subplot(self, *args, **kwargs):        
        self.axes.append(MySubplot(*args, **kwargs))

fig = figure(FigureClass=MyFigure)
fig.add_my_subplot(111)


Is there any downside to this approach?  It seems like if you are
going to the trouble to create a custom figure, you might was well
handle your own custom subplots there rather than in the Figure class
proper.
