Description
It would be nice if we could jitter the points, where the jitter amount is proportional to the density. This would allow jittered points to better match violins and show distributions better. The proposal is not to go all-out beeswarm but do better than the current uniform jitter.

Research direction
No file, test, or entry point is identified in the issue. Start by locating the current uniform jitter behavior in ggplot2 and reviewing how violin densities are computed; define how density-proportional jitter should behave and verify that the resulting point distributions better match violins without becoming a full beeswarm.
