I really appreciate the grouped plot from [StatPlots.jl](https://github.com/JuliaPlots/StatPlots.jl), in particular since this [PR](https://github.com/JuliaPlots/Plots.jl/pull/1429) (adjusting group legend lables nicely) has been merged.

However, typically I want to group and plot data according to, let’s say, two column `:T` and `:L` but also specify colors and markers for groups. For example, The color of the group should be chosen according to the `:T` value and the marker style according to the `:L` value of a datapoint.

Example:

Curves with same `:T` have same color. Curves with same L have same markers.

**Is there a nice way to achieve that using Plots.jl/StatPlots.jl?**

Thanks in advance!
