Being able to arbitrarily facet on multiple fields is very useful in data exploration. It is currently possible to facet on at most 2 fields (one in row and one in column) using the faceting shorthand encoding channels, even through it is possible to nest hconcat and vconcat layers arbitrarily deep.
It would be useful if the row and column channels could accept more than one field in order to generate deep layer nests. Among other uses, this could enable simple hierarchical groupings of separate related categorical fields. E.g.:
Vega-Lite already supports facets of facets using the facet operator. I read this as a feature request to support arrays in the shorthand notion and translate to a nested faceted spec (and make sure the nesting actually works). Does that make sense?
