You added the new feature 'between' for pointPlacement for column charts. This is exactly what I missed before, except that I need the placement of the columns between the ticks to the left, and not to the right. Could you add an option like e.g. 'between-left'?

We plot a temperature value and a precipitation sum together in a chart. If the temperature value is measured at the beginning of the time period, the actual behavior of 'between' would be ok. But in our case, the temperature value is measured at the end of the time period...
