Fixes one part of #928.
I was hoping there’d be a way to do this for the hexbin transform too, but I couldn’t wrap my head around it. The problem is that the initial options (passed to the Mark constructor) need to declare the channels prior to the initializer running, not the channels after the initializer runs; if we blindly declare the output channels in options, then we’ll overwrite the input channels to the hexbin transform. The dodge transform doesn’t have this problem because it doesn’t have a circular channel dependency (it consumes x and outputs y, or consumes y and outputs x; whereas the hexbin transform consumes x and y and outputs x and y, at a minimum).
Anyway, this seems like an improvement. 🤷
