[scikit-learn] API Discussion: Where shall we put the plotting functions?

[Brown J.B.]

As a user, I feel that (2) "sklearn.plot.XXX.plot_YYY" best allows for
future expansion of sub-namespaces in a tractable way that is also easy to
understand during code review.
For example, sklearn.plot.tree.plot_forest() or sklearn.plot.lasso.plot_* .

Just my opinion.
J.B.
