It would be nice to be able to view 3D plots without the distortions caused by perspective projection. Orthogonal projection allows easier comparison of different elements of a plot, especially when viewing the plot close to the direction of an axis.

Implementation requires orthogonal replacement for `persp_transformation()` in `mpl_toolkits.mplot3d.proj3d` and a constructor parameter that selects which projection is used in `Axes3D`.
