The present behavior of set_xlim and set_ylim can be surprising because making the values stick for subsequent plotting in the same axes requires manually calling set_autoscalex_on(False) etc. It would seem more logical if set_xlim itself included the call to turn autoscalex off--isn't that what a user would almost always want and expect?
Rectifying this would constitute a significant change affecting some existing user code. What are people's thoughts on this? Should the change made? If so, do it abruptly, right now, as part of version 1.0? Or phase it in with a temporary kwarg and/or rcparam? It would be nice to avoid all that complexity, but may be we can't, except by leaving everything as it is now.
