How do I make Julia Plots with the Plotly backend give me a histogram with as many integer bins from to max value in the series while displaying all the x-axis tick marks for each bin?

```julia
using Plots
plotly()
age = 100*rand(1000,1)
histogram(age, bins=100)

```

You can specify the bins for a histogram with a `AbstractVector` for the `bins` argument. You can also specify the ticks the same with `xticks`.

```julia
using Plots
plotly()
age = 100*rand(1000)
histogram(age, bins=0:100, xticks=0:100)

```
