Summary

Like we have named colormaps, it would be useful to have named cyclers as well.

This would allow code like

or even by name:

Is it useful?

• I think there's a need to efficiently switch cyclers depending on the plot.
• Also, as part of this, we can provide a number of default cyclers.
• Styles are already available, however I have the feeling that they are too broad as I often adapt just the colors and defining a new style for each color scheme seems a bit heavy-weight.
• Apart from the places where a cycler is explicitly used, this could also be used for other methods with a colors argument, e.g. plt.pie(data, colors='desert').

What would be needed?

Similar to colormaps:

• register_cycler()
• get_cycler()
• a number of default cyclers.
• Maybe the upstream Cycler class should get a name property.
