Combining facet_zoom with geom_histogram

[geotheory]

I wonder about feasibility of enhanced support for geom_histogram in future? Specifically the question of applying either a specific different binwidth to the zoomed facet, or by applying the same bin argument. The current implementation seems to zoom the post-binned summary:

set.seed(0)
x = tibble(date = as.Date('2018-01-01') + rnorm(500, sd=3)^3)
p = x %>% ggplot(aes(date)) + geom_histogram(bins = 50, col = 'white', size=.1) + theme_light()
p + facet_zoom(x = date >= "2017-12-01" & date <= "2018-02-01", zoom.size = 1)

It would be really useful to be able to drill into histograms to explore spikes and strange distributions.
