Description
Alternating row colors doesn't translate very naturally to the workspace. It would be nice to have these shortcuts that override the other fill color attributes. It would also simplify table development in R and Python, as you wouldn't have to make an array of alternating colors every time.

Determine the intended periodic-array behavior and how those shortcuts should override other fill color attributes, then verify the result against the alternating-row example shown in the issue.
