Description
Idea: to be able to register an instance as the "default" for a given protocol, so that filesystem(protocol), without additional kwargs, gets that particular instance. Will mean ability for pandas (for example) to do IO without figuring out a way to pass storage_options or other arguments through.

Research direction
Start by tracing the filesystem(protocol) entry point and how filesystem instances are registered. Determine how a protocol-specific default could be selected without additional kwargs, then define completion around filesystem(protocol) returning the registered instance for pandas-style IO use.
