Would be nice if pandas either

  1. Propagated keyword arguments to Matploblib hist (I believe there's an issue about it here: #14109 )
  2. Explicitly took the histtype argument, since histtype='stepfilled' can greatly speed up the histogram plot rendering.

Similar issue looks to have been closed in #23992 with #37063 testing usage of histtype.
