Of course.

I've taken a look at CXX and it looks like a much more pleasant
solution, so I'm happy to use that instead.

Understood.  I'm uneasy about making a major commitment at this stage
as I'm new to open source contributions, so how about you ask me again
when I've submitted the code and people have had the chance to
review/correct/admire/destroy it?

I like the idea of putting it in its own directory under lib/matplotlib.

I am currently "between jobs", which leaves me plenty of spare time
for interesting projects.  I reckon I should have something worthy of
consideration in 2 weeks time.
