Mixing trail styles per dataset

  run this example as a notebook — or grab the .ipynb (also linked at the bottom of the page)

chemtrails, precog, and bullettime each accept a per-dataset list of bools instead of a single bool, so different datasets in the same animation can show different trail styles (GH #127): a low-opacity trace of the past (chemtrails), of the future (precog), or of the entire timeseries at once (bullettime – equivalent to chemtrails AND precog together).
