Say from_axes, which is what a constructor is called

`per_axis` on `PlaceDesc` and `Declared` builds a pair by asking for each
axis. `from_axis` beside it already names the three-argument form, so the
plural is the one that takes a function, and both follow Rust's convention
for a constructor rather than an invented word.

+# iris
+
+My experimental attempt at a rust ui library (also my first ui library).
+
+It's currently designed around using retained data structures (widgets), rather than diffing generated trees from data like xilem or iced. This is an experiment and I'm not sure if it's a good idea or not.
+
+Examples are in `examples`, eg. `cargo run --example tabs`.
+
+Goals, in general order:
+1. does what I want it to (text, images, video, animations)
+2. very easy to use ignoring ergonomic ref counting
+3. reasonably fast / efficient (a lot faster than electron, save battery life, try to beat iced and xilem)
+
+## dev details
+
+not targeting web rn cause wanna use actual nice gpu features & entire point of this is to make desktop apps / not need a web browser
+
+general ideas trynna use rn / experiment with:
+- retained mode
+- specifically designed around wgpu so there's no translation
+- postfix functions for most things to prevent unreadable indentation (going very well)
+- events can be done directly where you draw the widgets
+- almost no macros in user code & actual LSP typechecking (variadic generics if you can hear me please save us)
+- relative anchor + absolute offset coord system (+ "rest" / leftover during widget layout)
+- single threaded ui & pass context around to make non async usage straightforward (pretty unsure about this)
+- widgets store outside of the actual rendering so they can be moved around and swapped easily (unsure about this but seems to work good for now)
+
+under heavy initial development so not gonna try to explain status, maybe check TODO for that;
+sizable chance it gets a rewrite once I know everything I need and what seems to work best
+
+it's called iris because it's the structure around what you actually want to display and colorful

+# project that depends on iris can be run through the same rig. `--bin` runs a
+# crate binary rather than an example, and takes its own argv from
+# `$RUN_HEADLESS_ARGS`, word-split on purpose.
+#
+# `--mode` sets the output, for running something at a size other than a
+# desktop's -- a phone's, say. Set every run rather than only when it changes:
+# the compositor is reused between runs, so a default-shaped run after a
+# custom one would otherwise inherit the other's output and quietly screenshot
+# the wrong size.
+#
+# `--resize WxH@Hz` changes the output under the app once it is up, then
+# screenshots. A resize is its own case: what it has to match is a cold start
+# at that size, byte for byte, and nothing in `cargo test` can see it.
+#
+# `--replay FILE` drives a `.touch` recording into the window through
+# `replay-touch`, which reads it with the same parser `iris::harness` uses. A
+# recording is `<ms> down|move|up <x> <y>` in the output's own pixels. With
+# `--shot` it also writes `<shot>-before.png` from just before the gesture,
+# since "it moved" is a claim about two pictures.
+#
+# What it supplies is a compositor for winit to open a surface on: a headless
+# sway, and `grim` to screenshot it. Sway gets its own socket and runtime
+# directory rather than joining whatever else is running, because it tiles --
+# adding a window to someone else's compositor resizes theirs.
