 ------
 Removed handling of `loc` as a positional argument to `Legend`

+Axis
+----
+Removed method ``set_scale``.  This is now handled via a private method which
+should not be used directly by users.  It is called via ``Axes.set_{x,y}scale``
+which takes care of ensuring the coupled changes are also made to the Axes object.
