Description
Right now this only works with matplotlib, but it would be good to decouple grid-strategy from that a bit and make it possible to add additional backends.
Specifically, I'd like to support bqplot as well.

Research direction
Start by inspecting the grid-strategy code that is coupled to matplotlib and identify the entry points involved in backend selection. Then assess how bqplot support could fit the existing design. Done means grid-strategy is decoupled enough to support bqplot while retaining its current matplotlib behavior.
