Function: isCoarserThan()
isCoarserThan(
unit,than):boolean
Defined in: time/zone.ts:191
Call: isCoarserThan(tickUnit, 'day') — true when unit groups a wider calendar span than
than (isCoarserThan('week', 'day') is true; isCoarserThan('day', 'day') is false).
For a plugin author asking "is this tick too coarse to draw per-day decoration?" without
building its own rank table over TimeUnit (#268).
This is calendar-nesting order, not duration order: a month is coarser than a week because
every month's days group into it, not because a month spans more milliseconds than four weeks
always would (it doesn't). That distinction is harmless for a granularity-floor question like the
one above, and wrong the moment someone reaches for this to do arithmetic — time/ exists to
keep that kind of arithmetic out of the caller's hands (plans/01 §5, I10), so reach for
stepBy/diffDays there instead.
