scatter should accept '*' as markerstyle (the way plot does) #125
Description
Just wanted to make a quick note of this - it would be a good bug for someone who wants to dive into matplotlib in a very defined manner.
Additionally, it'd be nice to have all of the markerstyle in plot supported by scatter, and vice versa - in case that isn't the case already for everything other than *
In [956]: plt.scatter(0,0,marker='*')
