Labeled data plotting

An interesting feature of matplotlib which was added recently is the use of labeled data in the plotting function.

i.e. one can do

some_dict = {
    'elephant': [1, 3, 4],
    'cat': [8, 0, 7],
    'mouse': [3, 3, 3],
}
plt.scatter(data=some_dict, x="elephant", y="mouse")

this also works with anything that accepts indexing with “elephant” and “mouse” such as a data frame having such columns. I think this is an interesting feature worth implementing in bqplot.pyplot.

FYI @ellisonbg we support this in an mpl style syntax now…
