two problems with that: 1) that really doesn't make me want to use this
approach, especially since I wouldn't know what ratios I would want in the
first place. 2) it can't tell if I want a horizontal or vertical colorbar,
whereas the lower-case notation could have some logic to auto-detect the
user's intent (e.g., all lower-case letters in the last row indicates
horizontal bars). It would also allow us to return the plotting axes
separate from the colorbar axes, which is how axes_grid1 does it, and it is
very nice that way.
