Sorry for the lack of a response. We have been absolutely swamped with the
push for v1.2.0, and your email must have gotten lost in the pile. Note,
repinging us as you have done is the absolutely correct thing to do.
Looking over your patch, the goal is sound, but the name of the rcparam you
choose would likely cause confusion. "line.capsize" and "line.capstyle",
for instance, are referring to two completely different things that just
happens to have the same name "cap". There are a lot of kwargs in axes.py
that have yet to be included into the rcparams, and we really need to push
to do this, but in a sensible and structured manner.
Anybody have thoughts on updating the naming scheme of the rc-params?
