Research direction

Read the linked Observable notebook to understand the proposed weighted band behavior, then inspect the existing band scale implementation and its tests in d3-scale. The issue notes the prototype may have broken uniform band scales and would need rewriting; define and verify the desired weighted behavior while preserving uniform scales.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

https://observablehq.com/d/29c9777318a8d5d5 shows how we could extend d3.scaleBand with a .weights() method allowing to set variable band widths (instead of uniform).

I might be missing something though.
Note that I fiddled with the code quite a bit so I'm not sure it's still valid for uniform band scales, but if we want to integrate this I would rewrite that part.

[EDITED] changed widths to weights, which is an accessor.
