Request: export ticker

[jwhitaker-swiftnav]

Hey guys,
Thanks for maintaining this.

Is there any chance of exporting ticker() from src/ticks? There are a few projects around that try to use this machinery to build a timezone-aware scale (e.g. https://github.com/yamass/d3-luxon/blob/main/src/scale/scaleZoned.js) . Without ticker being exported, these have to reimplement it from scratch.
I'm aware that you probably don't want it part of your stable API, but even exporting it from the internal module in src would be appreciated so users can swim with sharks if they accept the risk.

Thanks again!

Check out my solution...

https://github.com/nerevu/d3-time/tree/571601395045d81b70b9e7d9ceee1b67b95ea2bd

let utcIntervals = {
    "hour": d3.utcHour,
    "day": d3.utcDay,
    "week": d3.utcWeek,
    "month": d3.utcMonth,
}

let localIntervals = {
    "hour": d3.timeHour,
    "day": d3.timeDay,
    "week": d3.timeWeek,
    "month": d3.timeMonth,
}

function getTZIntervals(tz) {
    return {
        "hour": d3time.timezoneHour(tz),
        "day": d3time.timezoneDay(tz),
        "week": d3time.timezoneWeek(tz),
        "month": d3time.timezoneMonth(tz),
    }
}

var tz = "America/Chicago"
var bin = "hour"

if (tz.toLowerCase().endsWith("utc")) {
    var interval = utcIntervals[bin];
} else if (tz) {
    var interval = getTZIntervals(tz)[bin];
} else {
    var interval = localIntervals[bin];
}

var binned = interval(new Date());
var converted = d3time.convertDate(binned, tz);

I used my forked time lib to create a timezone aware scale for Plot
