+Bar of pie
+==========
+Make a "bar of pie" chart where the first slice of the pie is
+"exploded" into a bar chart with a further breakdown of said slice's
+characteristics. The example demonstrates using a figure with multiple
+sets of axes and using the axes patches list to add two ConnectionPatches
+to link the subplot charts.
