This looks interesting, and the functionality is certainly nice, but it looks like a brute force hammer approach when a scapel might be preferable, For example, what if we introduce a new kwarg fillstyle with options 'full|top|bottom|left|right' so *any* marker could be half filled. This would result in both less code and more functionality. If you are interested in tackling this, I'd be happy to consider a patch.
