    Hello,

    I'm wondering why stuff plotted with ax.text() does not get
    "clipped" by the axes bounds on the plot.  Here's a simple
    example, run with 1.3.1:

    import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

    (fig, ax) = plt.subplots(1,1)

    for i in range(5):
      for j in range(5):
        ax.text(i,j, "%sx%s" % (i,j), ha='center', va='center')
    ax.plot([0,8],[0,8])
    ax.set_xlim(0,2.8)
    ax.set_ylim(0,2.8)
    fig.savefig('test.png')

    and attached output.  This causes me lots of grief with basemap as
    well.  Is there a non-brute-force trick to get these values
    plotted outside the axes bounds removed?

I can't quite remember what the original issue was, but I do seem to recall that this behavior was made intentional for some reason. I honestly can't remember why, though, and I can't fathom what circumstances that this would be desirable...

Often, the text is an annotation that you would not want to have clipped.

```
ax.text(i,j, "%sx%s" % (i,j), ha='center', va='center').set_clip_on(True)
```

will turn the clipping on for the text.
