Ability to change the keys?

[WeatherGod]

While I totally agree that we should not be able to change the values associated with each key, what about being able to change out the key names? A use case would be for normalizing property names:

>>> c = cycler('color', 'rgb') + cycler('lw', [1, 2, 3])
>>> c.key_change('lw', 'linewidth')
cycler('color', ['r', 'g', 'b']) + cycler('linewidth', [1, 2, 3])

You can do

c2 = cycler('new_name', c1)

which accomplishes the same thing for a single cycler.

I am hesitant, but see the use case for normalization which makes me 75/25 in favor.

The problem with that approach is that it only works for a single-property cycler. If the cycler is a multi-property one...

>>> from cycler import cycler
>>> c = cycler('color', 'rgb') + cycler('lw', [1, 2, 3])
>>> c2 = cycler('linewidth', c)
Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "build/bdist.linux-x86_64/egg/cycler.py", line 301, in cycler
ValueError: Can not create Cycler from a multi-property Cycler

Would it help if I implement it for you? (it is a slow day today in the office)

Yes
