If one uses PyPlot.jl separately from Plots.jl, one can change all default settings by editing `rcParams` dictionary. Is there a way to edit `rcParams` if one uses PyPlot as a backend for Plots.jl?  
May be I can pass `rcParams` to pyplot() function?

It seems that when one uses PyPlot backend, one can access rcParams as `Plots.pyrcparams`.
