Description
This could be another parameter to .legend() which would skip the calculation of the maximum label size.
I would like to show the bottom legend with long names, but currently I can only display the top one because legend is hidden when the labels would (potentially) override each other.
Of course, a more complete solution would be to allow overriding (or setting) the label array.

Research direction
Start by tracing the .legend() behavior that calculates maximum label size and hides legends when labels may overlap. Determine whether the requested parameter or label-array override is the intended scope, then verify that long bottom-axis legend labels can remain visible without changing the existing default behavior.
