Bug summary
I'm used to using the Axis API like ax.xaxis.set_major_formatter(...) etc., so to be consistent it would be nice if one could do ax.xaxis.set_label(...) instead of ax.set_xlabel(...). It seems like ax.xaxis.set_label(...) does not label the axis however.
Code for reproduction
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
ax.xaxis.set_label("x-label")Actual outcome
Expected outcome
