DateStyle and TimeStyle are not part of the public API

Hi, thanks for the great library!

I'm writing a wrapper function for gt.fmt_datetime, gt.fmt_date etc. but I need to import DateStyle and TimeStyle from great_tables._formats to type hint the function correctly.

Have you considered re-exporting these Literals so they are accessible from the public API? Happy to make the PR myself, as well as re-export any other type hints that are in the public API if you agree this should be done.

Thanks for bringing this up.

@machow and @rich-iannone, do you think we should consider exposing some literals to make it easier for users to adopt type hints?

In the meantime, this could be a good opportunity to reflect on how we might enhance our type hints. I understand that the linter struggles with interpreting our databackend logic, and ensuring smooth compatibility with mypy remains a significant challenge for us.
