Description
Currently, if two rects do not share an x1 and x2, they will not stack, it would be great if they did!
Here's an example of something i would like to stack but is not:

I manually set offsets to look like this:

Research direction
Start with the two linked Observable examples and compare the default stacking with the manually offset result. Trace the interval stacking behavior used for rects, then verify that overlapping intervals with non-matching x1 and x2 values stack as requested without breaking aligned intervals.
