Is there a built-in option in Makie to format an `Axis` to emulate the style of `plot(x,y, framestyle=:zerolines)`, i.e. no outer spines and axis lines drawn through `x=0` and `y=0`? Essentially, trying to achieve something like the following (stolen from [Plot: Visualize a Function—Wolfram Documentation](https://reference.wolfram.com/language/ref/Plot.html#260424)):

I see in the docs here ([Axis · Makie](https://docs.makie.org/stable/reference/blocks/axis/index.html)) that hiding the outer spines is possible, but I haven’t been able to find anything about the axis line positions. I’d guess that a workaround could be implemented, but this seems to me worth having as a (non-default) layout option.

Looks like there’s been some movement behind the scenes, but no official support: [Makie: Axis through (0,0) - #4 by jules](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/makie-axis-through-0-0/103968/4)
