Description
ggplotly does not accept aesthetics with NULL assignment.
Use case in a programmatic big app I have a code that assigns aesthetics globally then turn off the aesthetics for some layers.
There are some workarounds but my issue I am filing in here is to handle correctly the aes ( ... = NULL)
require(ggplot2)
require(plotly)
plottest<- ggplot(mtcars,aes(mpg,disp))+
aes(group=cyl)+
geom_line()+
geom_smooth(aes(group=NULL))
ggplotly(plottest)
plotfixed<- ggplot(mtcars,aes(mpg,disp))+
geom_line(aes(group=cyl) )+
geom_smooth()
ggplotly(plotfixed)

Research direction
Start by running the supplied R examples with ggplot2 and plotly, comparing the global group aesthetic with the layer using aes(group=NULL). Trace how ggplotly handles that layer and verify that the NULL assignment disables the inherited aesthetic without breaking conversion.
