hiding spines is very common in creating a new plot by matplotlib, and the flowing lines of code are widely used.

ax.spines['top'].set_visible(False)
ax.spines['right'].set_visible(False)

They are a little comprehensive for new users to remember, and is easy to get wrong.

Will it possible to access the spine by class attribute and make matplotlib more object-oriented, with this mirror change.

ax.spines.top.set_visible(False)
ax.spines.right.set_visible(False)

or even,

ax.spines.top = None
ax.spines.right = None

Additionally, it would be convenient to modify all spines with a catchall attribute.

ax.spines.all.set_visible(False)

(Though, this might need to be moved to its own issue)

ax.spines.all.set_visible(False) is addressed in #17107.
