Description

Would it make sense to let `import nifty` register its colormaps automatically?

Also I suppose people may want to add several colormaps at once and not create one package per colormap; so the template could create two named colormaps instead of only one to show how it's to be extended.

Research direction

No files or tests are named in the issue. Start by reviewing the template package and its import path to determine how colormaps are currently exposed; done means importing the package registers its colormaps automatically and the template demonstrates multiple named colormaps without requiring one package per colormap.
