Joe,
Do you have any feeling for performance of mpldatacursor? I'm interested to
know if implementing this functionality by default (with an rcParam switch
to disable) on all Axes would have a significant impact on performance?

Personally, I find this kind of extension better as a completely separate
piece of work which one could "pip install" - it means you can be more
flexible with release cycles, especially in the early days of the code when
regular updates are most likely. Though I should note, I'm not against it
being included in mpl as an extension, if you would prefer that.
Thanks again for sharing!
