We don't currently have a container that allows absolute positioning, but it
would be the easiest container in the world to write since it wouldn't do any
layout. We've talked about adding one in the past, but never ran into a use
case for it. If we were to add one, we'd probably call it Panel, for parity
with the AWT equivalent.
