Is there a way to overwrite suptitle? When using 3rd party libs that
return a figure, if they set suptitle and don't give you the text
object back then you can't overwrite it? This doesn't seem right to
me.

Correct, this still seems to be the case. Looking at the code in figure.py, the suptitle() function just creates a text object and places it at a default location. Then it simply returns the object without saving a reference to it being a figure title. The only reference kept is in the self.texts list that it keeps. I see no reason why it has to be this way, though, and would certainly welcome a patch to fix this oversight (would make the code involving bbox_tight to be more simple, I think.

Does not reply to the list by default (?), so reposting
Ah, thanks for pointing out the reference in self.texts. I can use
this. I don't have time for a patch now, but I filed this issue.

Why should a reference be kept other than that in self.texts? Instead of keeping track of it somewhere else, would it be sufficient for the suptitle method to add a default "suptitle" label to the text object? Is there really anything special about the "suptitle" compared to any other text object that might be placed on the figure?

OK, I guess I see the problem now: Figure.suptitle really should be able to replace a prior suptitle, and the most straightforward way to facilitate this is with an explicit reference kept by the Figure.
