Remarks

This class is primarily used when mapping categories to aestetic attributes like color and shape.

Since categorical axes are hierarchical, a CategoryKey is made from the values of each level in the hierarchy. For instance, if an axis has an expression that nests an integer column within a string column, a category key would be defined by a string value and an integer.
