clip_on & clip_box in plot()

Hi,

The clip_on and clip_box arguments (and maybe clip_path also) in
plot() command seem to have no effect. For example,

In [29]: p, =plot([1,2,3], clip_on=False)

In [30]: p.get_clip_on()
Out[30]: True

It seems that the line object is created with the given arguments but
gets overwritten later when it is added to the axes (Axes.add_line),

    def add_line(self, line):
        '''
        Add a :class:`~matplotlib.lines.Line2D` to the list of plot
        lines
        '''
        self._set_artist_props(line)
        line.set_clip_path(self.patch)

"line.set_clip_path(self.patch)" update clip_path, clip_box, and clip_on.

So, isn't it better to do something explicitly when these arguments
are ignored? Maybe to print out some warnings or even raise an
exception, or do not call set_clip_path when clip_* argument is given,
or etc.?

A slightly related behavior I found unexpected is that set_clip_path()
and set_clip_rect() method also update clip_on.

I think this is a bug created by the conversion from 0.91 to 0.98. I'll look into this and let you know when it has been resolved.
