Research direction

The issue proposes using the + and * operators to compose figure objects, inspired by HoloViews, but names no files, tests, entry points, or precise behavior. First inspect the figure-object implementation and existing operator-related tests, then define the composition semantics and acceptance tests before attempting the feature.
