Research direction

Start by reading the discussions in pull requests #370 and #391, then review the related Cartopy issue #2099. Done means a cf function can derive a Cartopy-compatible CRS from the available grid_mapping without requiring users to select the CRS manually.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Woud be nice to have a cf function that generates CRS from grid_mappings that cartopy can understand for plotting. Would be nice to simply work without having to know which mapping is present, e.g., no need to pick the required cartopy CRS by hand.
