It was actually mostly some SVG jogging I happened to do in an Exhibit
context, but yeah, if it's popular and people like it we might want to
add the feature properly in Exhibit too. (Lesson learned: it's
steadily getting less painful to work with SVG in modern browsers, or
at least Firefox. The situation was substantially worse a year ago.)

All very appetizing proposals. I've been toying with the thought of
beefing up a Timeline into an interactable widget of some sort to pick
time spans rather than just browse data through, but it would probably
take more work than I have a time slice for at the moment.

Which would be quite fine if only I manage to get to need something
like that for work purposes at some time. :-)
