It's not quite that easy.  If you look at the object that Matlab's
stem function returns, it only says hggroup for the type.  I don't see
anywhere that it says "stemseries" or how that is determined.  Maybe
it is a hidden property?  Maybe it is magic?

It looks like the legend is a child of the figure, not the axes.
