Comment:

 It just seemed easier and cleaner to handle the scaling by hardcoding the
 scale. I will see how the patch turns out if I don't hardcode it.

 Most people will expect the functions `semilog*` and `loglog*` to be
 present. For instance, matlab has all of those commands (matlab has it
 only for list plots, the function plotter called `ezplot` does not have it
 AFAIK), and mathematica has `LogLogPlot` and `LogLinearPlot`.

 If it is not desirable, then we can simply have just two functions
 `log_plot(scale='loglog'|'semilogx'|'semilogy', funcs, ...)`, and
 `log_list_plot(scale='loglog'|'semilogx'|'semilogy', data, ...)`.
