I thought there is no master and slave for an axis-sharing?
If that's the case, maybe "sharex=True" should be suffice?

Also, how about "subplots" returns a some kind of object so that we
may define some methods on it. We can define  "__iter__" method so
that above syntax also works. As an example,

mysubplots = subplots(4,1, sharex=True)
mysubplots.label_outer()
ax1, ax2, ax3, ax4 = mysubplots
