A similar pattern with `matplotlib.style` would use chained stylesheets.
The idea would be to make stylesheets either aesthetics focused or layout
focused. By aesthetics, I mean things like colors and marker shape, and by
layout, I mean things like default figure size, figure padding, font size,
etc. Then you can easily have a style that defines the general aesthetics
and easily modify it for papers, talks, etc.

Here's an example from `mpltools`, but the same syntax applies to the
`style` module in `matplotlib`:

(PoF = Physics of Fluids journal; IIRC I think I have some personal
stylesheets that take the normal two-column figure layout and convert it to
a full-page layout.)
