suptitle/suplabel for subfigures

Matlab has a useful contributed function called suptitle.m

    > that puts a central title above a set of subplots:

I believe this is equivalent to something like

fig.text(0.5, 0.9, 'some text')

where fig is a Figure instance. See

  http://matplotlib.sf.net/matplotlib.figure.html#Figure-text

Exposing subtitle as a pylab function which wraps this functionality
is fine by me.
