Description
Pardon me if I've missed something, but from the docs and the issues raised it doesn't seem like anyone has proposed to add a marker type in Dataset.plot.scatter. From the docs it seems that right now you can organize points using hue and marker size. It would be nice to add marker type to the mix, and I imagine that it wouldn't too hard.
The only issue I see is that there are a finite number of marker types by default, but that's no different from the finite number of colors in the default color wheel.
Thoughts?

Research direction
Start with the linked Dataset.plot.scatter documentation and review how hue and marker size are currently exposed. Define how marker type should be selected and how the finite default marker set should behave; done means scatter plots can organize points by marker type alongside the existing options.
