+Raise or warn on registering a colormap twice
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+When using `matplotlib.cm.register_cmap` to register a user provided
+or third-party colormap it will now raise a `ValueError` if trying to
+over-write one of the built in colormaps and warn if trying to over
+write a user registered colormap.  This may raise for user-registered
+colormaps in the future.

-    and the resulting colormap is registered. Instead of this implicit

     Notes
     -----
     Registering a colormap stores a reference to the colormap object
     which can currently be modified and inadvertantly change the global
     colormap state. This behavior is deprecated and in Matplotlib 3.5
     the registered colormap will be immutable.
