Description
### Problem
I've recently seen a plot with a dashed hatching style and was wondering if there's a case for adding such a style to matplotlib? Especially that we've got dotted hatching already available and this seems to be similar.

### Proposed solution
I don't have the exact solution but matplotlib allows to create all sorts of fancy edge line styles so I'd imagine the technical ability of the library to implement this request is there.
