Description

Would it be possible to pass an array of value to the Slider as an alternative to min, max, stepSize? The value would show with regular distance in the order of the array. I need to use the Slider with non-constant step size. For illustration, such non-constant step size might be Fibonacci numbers.

Research direction
Start by understanding the current Slider component implementation in the Blueprint repository. The Slider component is likely in packages/core/src/components/slider. Review the existing props: min, max, stepSize. Then design a new prop, e.g., values, that accepts an array of numbers. The slider should render stops at each value, distributing them evenly along the track. Ensure the new prop works with existing functionality and update the tests accordingly. Check for any existing comments or issues mentioning this feature for additional context.
