Yes, I realize that this (or the += approach) was overdoing it. Separating
the stuff in two different properties is probably more the way to go (at
least, it's less crazy).
Even the ax.title += (string, options) approach has the problem that this
would imply ax.title (in the sense of ax.__dict__[

Indeed, good catch. But another issue comes to my mind: should ax1.title
(that is, "ax1..title.__get__(ax1)" where ".." means no descriptor invoked)
return a string (like now) or something that contains all the properties of
