Description
When coord_cartesian() is called a zero-range xlim and expand=FALSE, the x value appears to be treated as a factor, and all points are in the plot.
ggplot(mtcars, aes(wt, mpg)) +
geom_point() +
coord_cartesian(xlim = c(5, 5), expand = FALSE)

Research direction
Start by reproducing the coord_cartesian() example with mtcars, xlim = c(5, 5), and expand = FALSE, then trace the coord_cartesian() handling of zero-range limits. Done means the range is treated numerically and only the intended x value is shown; add a regression test for this case if the repository's testing structure identifies a suitable location.
