I saw this a couple of weeks ago, and it is really cool. The only
objection I would have is that one would still have to write a quite
complicated wrapper around it, if one wants to retain compatibility with
matplotlib. The greatest appeal of a matplotlib backend is that all
older python scripts would run as usual.
