Description
The “subplot” mark would essentially be a faceted plot specification within an existing plot, but with facets positioned arbitrarily by an anchor in x and y, and with a fixed width and height. The subplots would share the same scales.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named in the issue. Start by surveying the repository's existing faceting, subplot-like, and scale-sharing APIs, then determine how arbitrary x/y anchors and fixed dimensions should fit them; done means a subplot mark can be positioned within an existing plot while sharing its scales.
