Description
Currently, position_stack() bottom-aligns (positive) data at 0.
However, it may be nice to also include options to center-align stacks, like stream graphs, or maybe even top-align stacks.
The thing that worries me is how to deal with negative values in these alternative configurations.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the position_stack() implementation and how it currently bottom-aligns positive values at 0. Define the intended center- and top-alignment behavior, including how negative values should be handled; the work is done when those semantics are agreed and the feature is implemented with coverage for the relevant value cases.
