Error in plot method with `describe_distribution()`

Asked in easystats/datawizard#419

Error when we use select in describe_distribution():

@jmgirard this should now work with the development version of see (cf #288)

Note that it produces a list of plots and not a faceted plot but you can wrap them with patchwork:

library(see)
library(datawizard)
library(patchwork)

x <- describe_distribution(iris, select = starts_with("Sepal"))
my_plots <- plot(x)
wrap_plots(my_plots)
#> `stat_bin()` using `bins = 30`. Pick better value with `binwidth`.
#> `stat_bin()` using `bins = 30`. Pick better value with `binwidth`.
