When using annotate to draw an arrow, it does not show up in the legend.

Example code:

import matplotlib.pylab as plt
%matplotlib inline

fig, ax = plt.subplots(1)
ax.plot([0, 1], [0, 0], label='line1')
ax.plot([0, 1], [1, 1], label='line2')
ax.annotate("",
            xy=(0.4,1.0),
            xytext=(0.4,0.0),
            arrowprops={'arrowstyle':'<->', 'color':'C7' },
            label='distance')
ax.legend()

gives:
annotate

I would expect an entry "distance" in the legend, with a grey double-sided arrow as symbol.

(I use Python 3.6.0 and Matplotlib 2.0.0 from Archlinux repository)
