Are you aware of the "dashes" property, which allows you to set the
exact dash pattern you want. It's an arbitrary length sequence of
alternating ink-on, ink-off, in points
# 5 points on, 2 off, 10 on, 5 off)
plot(arange(20), '--', dashes=[5,2,10,5])

This seems like a good idea -- if you define a nice sequence of dashes
you want to cycle through, I'll build the rest of the infrastructure
and make a figure property like iscolor.
