Here is the use case I have in mind:
Plotting properties of various phases of iron, I need a legend with greek
letters and normal text:
\alpha-Fe, Someone (2003)
Now, I need the names e.g. someone to be upright.
Also, the relbar between \alpha and Fe is shorter with normal text fonts
than with italics.
I can solve the problem by using r'\rm{\alpha-Fe, Someone (2003)}' but it
would be easier if I could just change the defaults.
