The above thread includes two reasonable requests:
1) add color cycle as an rcParam
2) add a line style cycle as well
The first of these is easier to implement, although it requires a bit
more than the patch

1) Should the the color_cycle be in the axes group? Although it affects
lines, it is defined only at the Axes level, and affects only lines drawn by
plot.
Alternative: since it affects only plot, should there be a new plot
2) It was pointed out that there is a strange connection between the color
cycle and the lines.color rcParam. This connection looks to me like a bit
of legacy that can be dropped with little risk of pain in user land, since
the default would still be to have the initial color in the cycle

The only problem is that lines.color is the default for LineCollection and
Line2D, both of which are fairly separate from Axes, so having them default
to rcParams['axes.color_cycle'][0] seems a little odd.
Yes, I was
