Description
Hi!
Would it be possible to export the type expected by the geo mark?
This would be helpful when working with TypeScript.
From what I understand, we currently need to install d3-geo to access the GeoPermissible type. If this type were exported directly from plot, explicitly installing d3-geo wouldn't be necessary.
Thank you!

Research direction
Start by locating the geo mark's TypeScript type definitions and the GeoPermissible type currently obtained from d3-geo. Trace how the geo mark exposes its expected type, then verify that consumers can import it directly from Plot without installing d3-geo.
