Exploring in this area is definitely a good thing. I kind of like this
proposal and along those lines, I would love to be able to *easily* create a
subplot that occupies 2/3 of a figure in each direction, surrounded by a
bunch of smaller panels that each occupy 1/3. I know Jae-Joon has committed
a bunch of work on what I'll call "axes tricks", but I haven't had a chance
to see if it facilitates this.
