Description
Currently @render.plot re-evaluates the user expression whenever it's container size changes. It'd be nice if it didn't re-evaluate the expression (with an option to opt-into that behavior).

Research direction
Start at the @render.plot entry point and trace how container-size changes trigger re-evaluation. Determine where an opt-in setting would control that behavior, then verify that resizing no longer re-executes the user expression when the option is enabled while existing behavior remains unchanged.
