Extent as axis limits in Makie?

[tiemvanderdeure]

It could be pretty neat if you could pass in an Extent object as the limit keyword when making an Axis in Makie.

I guess all that would be needed is a tiny extension that just does the limits = (ext.X..., ext.Y...) conversion automatically.

Not sure how the dispatch will work?

But I think Makie already depends on Extents so it will have to be there not here, and wont need an extension.

IIUC this just needs convert methods to Rect2/3 and the appropriate dispatches on the limit functions.

I haven't been pushing Extents.jl very hard outside of geospatial tools that I work on, but it would be very nice if it just worked everywhere that things have an obvious extent, like Makie plots.

I'm also just not familiar enough with Makie internals to know where to put anything. @asinghvi17 if you know where those methods are in Makie some links might help getting this implemented.
