#' @section Stats:
#'
#' All `stat_*` functions (like `stat_bin`) return a layer that
#' contains a `Stat*` object (like `StatBin`). The `Stat*`
#' object is responsible for rendering the data in the plot.
#'
#' Each of the `Stat*` objects is a [ggproto()] object, descended
#' from the top-level `Stat`, and each implements various methods and
#' fields. To create a new type of Stat object, you typically will want to
#' implement one or more of the following:
#'
#'   - Override one of :
#'     `compute_layer(self, data, scales, ...)`,
#'     `compute_panel(self, data, scales, ...)`, or
#'     `compute_group(self, data, scales, ...)`.
#'
#'     `compute_layer()` is called once per layer, `compute_panel_()`
#'     is called once per panel, and `compute_group()` is called once per
#'     group. All must return a data frame.
#'
#'     It's usually best to start by overriding `compute_group`: if
#'     you find substantial performance optimisations, override higher up.
#'     You'll need to read the source code of the default methods to see
#'     what else you should be doing.
#'
#'     `data` is a data frame containing the variables named according
#'     to the aesthetics that they're mapped to. `scales` is a list
#'     containing the `x` and `y` scales. There functions are called
#'     before the facets are trained, so they are global scales, not local
#'     to the individual panels.`...` contains the parameters returned by
#'     `setup_params()`.
#'   - `finish_layer(data, params)`: called once for each layer. Used
#'     to modify the data after scales has been applied, but before the data is
#'     handed of to the geom for rendering. The default is to not modify the
#'     data. Use this hook if the stat needs access to the actual aesthetic
#'     values rather than the values that are mapped to the aesthetic.
#'   - `setup_params(data, params)`: called once for each layer.
#'     Used to setup defaults that need to complete dataset, and to inform
#'     the user of important choices. Should return list of parameters.
#'   - `setup_data(data, params)`: called once for each layer,
#'     after `setp_params()`. Should return modified `data`.
#'     Default methods removes all rows containing a missing value in
#'     required aesthetics (with a warning if `!na.rm`).
#'   - `required_aes`: A character vector of aesthetics needed to
#'     render the geom.
#'   - `default_aes`: A list (generated by [aes()] of
#'     default values for aesthetics.
