PR Summary
IMHO the Grouped bar chart example is trying to show too much. Illustrating grouping of bars and annotating with values is more than enough.
I've removed the error bars. The error bars made the example more complex and thus harder to understand. While error bars are useful depending on the context, they are rather rarely used with bar charts (c.f. google image search "bar chart"); and we have other examples for error bars with bar charts.
Bonus question: Can I tell matplotlib to include the texts in the ylim calculation?
