is scale_x_binned() supposed to not play with geom_boxplot() ?

Hi,

is this desired in scale_x_binned()? I would have expected several boxplots (one per bin).

ggplot(mtcars, aes(x=wt)) +
  geom_boxplot(aes(y=mpg)) +
  scale_x_binned()

I understand the intention of your code, but this is the expected behaviour. Since x is continuous, even after it's binned, it cannot be a grouping variable. (geom_bar() works fine because its transformation works without group aesthetics)
