There's already special-casing for polar plots in bar() (using the same
_interpolation_steps = 100); it seems reasonable to use the same
approach for axvspan (e.g. polar(); axvspan(0, pi/4)).

It seems like making axhspan work (basically drawing full rings) is less
easy, but there's an easy enough workaround
(polar(); bar(0, bottom=1, height=1, width=2*pi)) as the "x" (theta)
extent is actually known in that case.

plt.polar(); plt.axvspan(np.pi/4, np.pi/2)

PR Checklist

  • Has pytest style unit tests (and pytest passes).
  • Is Flake 8 compliant (run flake8 on changed files to check).

  • Documentation is sphinx and numpydoc compliant (the docs should build without error).
  • Conforms to Matplotlib style conventions (install flake8-docstrings and run flake8 --docstring-convention=all).
  • New features have an entry in doc/users/next_whats_new/ (follow instructions in README.rst there).
