#' @title ggplot-based plot for objects of class \code{"metaMDS"}
#'
#' @description
#' Produces a multi-layer ggplot object representing the output of
#' objects produced by \code{\link[vegan]{metaMDS}}.
#'
#' @details
#' TODO
#'
#' @param object an object of class \code{"metaMDS"}, the result of a call
#' to \code{\link[vegan]{metaMDS}}.
#' @param axes numeric; which axes to plot, given as a vector of length 2.
#' @param geom character; which geoms to use for the layers. Can be a
#' vector of length equal to \code{length(display)}, in which case the
#' \emph{i}th element of \code{type} refers to the \emph{i}th element
#' of \code{display}.
#' @param layers character; which scores to plot as layers
#' @param legend.position character or two-element numeric vector; where to position the legend. See \code{\link[ggplot2]{theme}} for details. Use \code{"none"} to not draw the legend.
#' @param xlab character; label for the x-axis
#' @param ylab character; label for the y-axis
#' @param title character; subtitle for the plot
#' @param subtitle character; subtitle for the plot
#' @param caption character; caption for the plot
#' @param ... Additional arguments passed to \code{\link{fortify.metaMDS}}.
#'
#' @return Returns a ggplot object.
