I actually realized this is not what I wanted, because the error bar should be vertical.

For example, this looks wrong:

```julia
stairs([1,3,2,1]; label="x")
errorbars!((2:4) .- 0.5, [3,2,1], [2,3,4]; label="x")

axislegend()
current_figure()

```

with `merge=true`

I suppose one can do this manually: [Makie errorbars in legend look awkward - #2 by jules](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/makie-errorbars-in-legend-look-awkward/104832/2)
