How to add vertical lines for visual separation in pandas plot
# MWE
```py
import pandas as pd

df = pd.DataFrame(np.random.rand(9, 4), columns=['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'])
df.plot.bar()
plt.show()

# Question
How do I add separating vertical lines between groups? Say these are
groups of three:  
`(0, 1, 2), LINE, (3, 4, 5), LINE, (6, 7, 8)`

# Notes
This really helps for recognizing patterns and tracking trends in a
busy, but useful graph.
