Can you describe a scenario where considering all artists may produce
wrong/unintended results?
Considering all texts in the figure might be a good-enough solution, but I

some elements.
I come from a gnuplot/asymptote background, so my view could be biased.

Yes, thanks. By upgrading to 1.0, bbox_extra_artists now works.
