Description
we could select a list of "standard textures" to propose as an ordinal color scheme? e.g. {scheme: "textures"}; Plot would be responsible for adding the necessary and would return the corresponding funciri ("url(#texture1)" etc.)

Research direction
Start by reading follow-up issue #362 and related issue #805, then inspect Plot’s color-scheme API and SVG output behavior. Define the standard textures and the returned url(#texture1)-style values, with Plot adding the required ; done when textures can be selected as an ordinal color scheme.
