Defined in:
[schema.ts:54](https://github.com/handlewithcarecollective/pitter-patter/blob/5f9831b289582242a2f8b7c6f9c1d64b034de5a9/packages/shuffle/src/schema.ts#L54)

A node spec for a row node. A row is a horizontal group, meant to wrap other block nodes (including
containers). Dragging a node to the side of another node will automatically group them into a row.

A row’s child nodes can be repositioned horizontally within the row, and can even overlap each
other.
