Description
It would be nice if the node size automatically stretched out to fit the label text. (Also, currently you can only change the node radius, but for this you would want to stretch the node elliptically in one direction.)
For example, consider the following labelled graph:
and compare to the output of GraphViz for similar labels:
(Note also that GraphViz has proper arrowheads.)

Research direction
Start by locating the node sizing and radius-handling entry points in GraphPlot.jl, then inspect how labels are measured and rendered. The work is done when labelled nodes automatically stretch to contain their text, support elliptical dimensions, and existing graph rendering remains functional.
