Bad rugs when using plotting facets.

[brews]

Rugs and facets do not work well together (if at all). I imagine this has to do with how we hacked our way around spacing our rugs with single plots...

Anyways, we also have a problem with needing to define a independent rug for each facet subplot. i.e. facets do not share the same rug.

This is an issue upstream with ggplot2.

There has been a major release to ggplot2 with changes that might help to fix this. One other possible work around is creating a composite object and then append that to the end of a series that is about to be used for plotting.

@brews I have a possible fix for this. I was able to make rugs work on facets, the next challenge that emerged, however was that because ggplot treats the rug as y-axis data - a series in the case of plot_demograph() - it resorts the series factor levels. That means that any use of sort.fhx() prior to calling plot_demograph() is lost/ignored. The solution is to build and an internal sort variable in plot_demograph().
I wasn't sure the demand for this option (to plot composite rugs on facets) justified the effort and change in burnr. I'm willing to take it up (sometime) if we feel it adds a lot of value.

Thanks @chguiterman, I haven't heard anyone complain about this. Has this been an issue for you, in the wild?
