  • Don't suggest using backends for customization (it's quite heavy
    handed anyways, and we may soon have figure hooks to simplify that).
  • Replace tight_layout/constrained_layout by layout engines (none of the
    kwargs appear explicitly in the signature, but because figure() is
    such a central entry point, it seems reasonable to be a bit more wordy
    in the descriptions).

Is it possible to link out to something here? Otherwise these terms aren't very meaningful to most people.
