def quantity_support(format="latex_inline"):
    """
    Enable support for plotting `astropy.units.Quantity` instances in
    matplotlib.

    May be (optionally) used with a ``with`` statement.

    Parameters
    ----------
    format : `astropy.units.format.Base` subclass or str
        The name of a format or a formatter class.  If not
