Pyplot figure window container

[palob]

As far as I can see, unless you are using IPython Notebook (matplotlib inline mode) Pyplot figures will be displayed in single independent windows. For some technical reasons the figure windows can't be docked to the Spyder IDE.
This can get very annoying when working interactively with scripts which deliver many plot figures.

So may I request a 'container window' including all output pyplot figures?
Different tabs or by cursor buttons (forward/back/first/last) + headline like 'Figure 2 of 9' could allow for navigation.

This is already being worked on MEP22 (https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/wiki/Mep22), #2624 , and #2194 .
