Feature: Logarithmic scale?

Hi, sorry to ask what's probably a common question but didn't see in any any of the options or help pages:

How do we get a logarithmic scale, e.g. one that goes backward from the present in a logarithmic fashion?

Currently with a linear scale, my 20th-century events look crammed together and my medieval and ancient events are very far apart. A log scale should even out the spacing better.

(I realize I could take the log manually and enter fractional powers of ten for the years, but...yuck, I don't think my readers would appreciate that.)

If this is not currently a feature, then file this under "Feature Request"! I'm willing to try to implement this and submit a PR if someone can point me to the right part of the JS code that handles spacing along the horizontal axis, and some idea of how a Boolean config option should get passed through to wherever that appropriate section of code can access it.

Start by locating the JavaScript code that handles spacing along the horizontal axis and trace how configuration options are passed through the timeline. Define how a Boolean logarithmic-scale option should reach that code. Done means the option produces logarithmic spacing for timelines while preserving the existing linear-scale behavior.
