Description

Sorry if this has already been brought up, but default behavior for date axis labels is unacceptable to me, and is not handled the same way as in the R ggplot2. Please see the comparison.

Research direction

Locate plotnine's date-axis labeling entry point and existing tests, then define completion as default labels matching the expected ggplot2-style behavior shown in the comparison.
