Holoviews: Layout Enhancement proposal: Overloading '-' for vertical

[michaelaye]

I think overloading the minus operator to add elements vertically might be a workable shortcut?

So, instead of doing:

layout = elem1 + elem2
layout.cols(1)

I suggest this as the shortcut for that:

elem1 - elem2

but maybe there are issues with that approach I'm not seeing.
Thoughts?

I've previously proposed e1 / e2 (e1 "over" e2) for that purpose, but I think anything like that is waiting on the Bokeh Layout work that has yet to come to a conclusion.

[michaelaye]

what about now? ;)

The Bokeh layout work is long done, but I'm sure @philippjfr or @jlstevens will come up with some new reason why we can't have good things like this. :-)
