`Style::marker_below_samples` (50 by default, `0` for never) draws a `marker_px` dot on every
*raw* sample when the visible window holds at most that many, in the trace's own colour. Zoomed
in far enough to see individual samples, the polyline between them stops being the shape a reader
is looking at -- a handful of points across a whole panel ARE the picture -- and a dot makes each
one a place rather than a bend in a line. Level 0 only: above it the geometry is pyramid buckets,
which are not points anyone can find.
Test: a_sparse_window_marks_its_samples -- the same flat series at ten samples and at a hundred.
Ten gives exactly ten dots, evenly spaced (their centres are checked against the panel's own
step, so "they are the samples" is asserted rather than "something was painted"); a hundred is
past the threshold and gives none. The dots *group* into runs of columns (a marker is `marker_px`
wide), which is how the test reads one marker per sample -- counting columns read three.
