I agree that this would be difficult with the existing code base, but
it would be something that is nice to support.  Perhaps we can think
about adding support for a fig.move_axes_to(otherfig) method that
reconnects all the wiring.  We would of course have to be very careful
about all the child artists, but this would be a good thing to get
right.
