Expressions convert functions: output linear interpolation?

[nickidlugash]

In the functions to convert deprecated functions to expressions, we are converting functions with type exponential and base 1 to interpolation expressions with type ["exponential", 1]. While this is the most exact conversion, would it be more useful to convert these to type ["linear"]?

Hi! I would like to work on this :)

I have a quick clarification:
So when base equals 1, we would just change the expression to look like this expression = ['interpolate', ['linear'], ['number', ['get', parameters.property]]]

and this should be done in both the convertPropertyFunction and the convertZoomFunction?

Thank you!

Correct!

Correct too!
