Proposal

This may be premature given that the typst format is pre-release but I figured I'd offer the suggestion now that a as_typst() function that supports or enables custom table formatting when using the typst Quarto output format could be a great addition.

Some background via the Quarto documentation:

Quarto v1.4 includes support for the typst output format. Typst is a new open-source markup-based typesetting system that is designed to be as powerful as LaTeX while being much easier to learn and use.

The Quarto repo already has a related issue for incorporating the typst-tablex library for table formatting: quarto-dev/quarto-cli#6811 Not sure if that would make a as_typst() function unnecessary or if the two could work in concert.
